Liverwort is a genus of herbaceous perennials in the buttercup family, native to central and northern Europe, Asia and eastern North America. Bisexual flowers with pink, purple, blue, or white sepals and three green bracts appear singly on hairy stems from late winter to spring. The leaves are basal, leathery, and usually three-lobed, remaining over winter.
Water:
Liverwort thrives in moist woodland environments, requiring evenly moist soil and weekly watering. When cultivated indoors, it benefits from regular misting or a pebble tray to maintain humidity. Watering is crucial during its active growing season for healthy foliage and vitality.
Propagation:
Liverwort propagates via seeds, division, or leaf cuttings, requiring partial shade, well-draining acidic soil, and cool to moderate temperatures. Seeds should be sown immediately in fall. Division involves unearthing, separating, and replanting clumps in early spring while maintaining consistent moisture.
