Circaea cordata

Circaea cordata boasts heart-shaped leaves with a softly serrated edge, a distinctive feature that resonates with its Latin epithet. These leaves sprout on slender stems that grow in shady, moist woodland environments, flourishing under a canopy where dappled sunlight filters through. Its habitat informs its growth patterns, leading to lush, low-lying clusters, often overlooked yet integral to the forest's understory tapestry.

Water: Circaea cordata prefers consistently moist soil and should be watered weekly, avoiding waterlogging. Thriving in indoor environments, it benefits from higher humidity levels, which enhance its foliage health and alleviate stress from heating systems.

Fertilize: Circaea cordata thrives on balanced nutrition fertilizer applied bi-monthly during the growing season, with reduced frequency in winter. Avoid over-fertilizing to prevent harm, and always water afterward to aid nutrient absorption. Proper fertilization enhances circaea cordata's health and vigor.

Pruning: Circaea cordata has heart-shaped leaves and prefers shade. Prune in early to late spring to enhance shape and health, removing dead stems and thinning crowded areas for air circulation. Use clean, sharp tools and avoid heavy pruning during active growth to minimize stress.

Propagation: Circaea cordata is best propagated by sowing seeds in fertile, well-draining soil, ideally in shallow trays for easy transplantation. Maintain adequate moisture without waterlogging. Once seedlings develop their first true leaves, transplant carefully to minimize root disturbance for successful establishment.
