Cichorium
Cichorium are flowering plants that are related to dandelions. There are two notable plants in this category: true endive and common chicory. These are used as a leafy food crop and a replacement for coffee respectively. They produce pretty flowers and are admired in gardens, though they often self-cultivate and become weeds.

Soil Type
Water: Cichorium, native to temperate climates, prefers evenly moist soil and regular hydration. It should be watered weekly, with increased frequency needed during its active growing season to maintain lush foliage and health. Moderate drought tolerance is noted, but consistent moisture is essential for optimal growth.
Propagation: Propagation methods for cichorium include seeding and division. Germination needs well-draining soil, moisture, and temps of 15-20°C. Seeds require moderate light; divisions prefer indirect light. For seed, sow in spring/autumn; for division, separate roots in spring/autumn, replanting at the same depth.
