Dicentra canadensis aka Turkey Corn

Turkey Corn requires a bit more attention and knowledge to thrive, making it a suitable plant for those with some gardening experience.

New growth will sprout from the top of the plant as it grows upwards.

Turkey Corn’s native range is Eastern N. America - S. Quebec, Minnesota, N. Carolina, Tennessee.

Turkey Corn should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Turkey Corn loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

The Turkey Corn should be transferred to a new pot once it has increased in size two-fold, or on an annual basis, whichever occurs earlier. Replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the necessary nutrients, is sufficient enough to support the growth of the plant, thus avoiding the need to use fertilizer. It's important to note that plants derive their energy from the sun and not fertilizer.

Turkey Corn is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

During the cold period, it is common for Turkey Corn to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more during this period.
