Spreading sneezeweed
The stem crawls along the surface of the earth and is 5 to 20 cm long. The leaves are alternate, wedge-shaped, and 8 to 20 mm long with rough serrations on the edges. The head flower is 2.5 to 5 mm in diameter and green. It emerges from the leaflet and has no floral pattern, even at 1.5 mm. All the pieces are oblong and have the same length. There are no tongue-like flowers in the head flower, and the corolla is almost inconspicuous and can only be seen as a green round lump. The flower head is hemispherical, has no tongue-like flowers, and a plurality of cylindrical female flowers are arranged on the outside, with a cylindrical amphoteric flower also arranged in the center. In both cases, the corolla is cylindrical and very small, but that of female flowers is smaller. The fruit has 5 ridges and is 1.3 mm long with no crown hair.

Water: Spreading sneezeweed thrives in consistently moist environments, preferring slight moisture without waterlogging. It is moderately drought-tolerant and should be watered weekly. When growing outdoors, watering should mimic natural rainfall patterns to prevent overhydration.
Fertilize: Spreading sneezeweed benefits from monthly balanced fertilization during growth, with limited high nitrogen use for leaf production. Adjust frequency with seasons and follow label instructions to avoid nutrient burn. A well-planned approach fosters robust growth, blooming, and overall health.
Pruning: Spreading sneezeweed has a low-growing habit and aromatic leaves, needing minimal pruning primarily in early to late spring. Cut back dead or damaged stems to encourage growth, and light pruning helps maintain shape. This improves air circulation, reducing disease risk and promoting a healthier garden.
Propagation: Spreading sneezeweed is propagated by sowing fresh seeds in well-draining soil, lightly covered for proper light access. Consistent moisture is key, avoiding waterlogging. Once seedlings have a few true leaves, transplant them carefully to minimize root disturbance for optimal growth.
