Oxybasis

Oxybasis are rarely cultivated in the garden, growing most commonly in the wild, in sunny disturbed areas. These multi-branching plants attract the most attention when they produce flowers throughout the summer and early fall. After flowering, the stems are covered in small seeds which allow the plants to spread themselves across their habitats.

Water: Native to moderately moist environments, oxybasis thrives with consistent hydration. It requires weekly watering to avoid over-saturation and is typically grown indoors for optimal humidity. Controlled watering schedules are essential due to reduced influence from natural rain patterns on its growth cycles.

Propagation: Oxybasis can be propagated through seed sowing or division, requiring proper light, moisture, and well-draining soil. Key considerations include overwatering sensitivity and seed stratification in cold climates. Division involves careful uplifting, separating clumps, replanting at original depth, and thorough yet cautious watering.
