Aphanes is slender, annual prostrate herbs, much-branched with deeply lobed leaves, pilose and on short petioles. The tiny green to yellow flowers without petals grow in clusters in the denticulate leaflike stipules. This genus includes about 20 species. Aphanes is native to Europe, Asia and Australia.
Water:
Aphanes thrives in consistent moisture and prefers stable hydration, requiring weekly watering to maintain health. Outdoor growth cycles depend on water availability, making efficient irrigation essential during dry periods to support its development.
Propagation:
Primary propagation of aphanes is by seed under well-draining soil with ample light and consistent moisture. Surface sowing small seeds is crucial, with germination taking up to two weeks. Monitor for damping off, a common seedling issue, and ensure proper moisture levels.
