How to Grow and Care for Squirrel Corn

Squirrel Corn

Squirrel Corn thrives in cool, moist, well-drained soil and benefits from dappled sunlight, mimicking its native woodland habitat. Special care should be taken to avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot. Mulching is useful to maintain soil moisture and temperature. While showing resilience in the right conditions, this plant may require additional attention to soil and light to ensure its health.
