Mountain Mouse-Ear Chickweed

For Mountain Mouse-Ear Chickweed, it's best to water regularly to keep the soil moist and moisten the surface of the soil without actually saturating it. Allow the soil to dry between waterings, but avoid allowing it to dry out completely. It is recommended to water this plant 2 to 3 times a week, depending on the weather and where it is located. If the plant is exposed to direct sunlight or strong winds, it may need to be watered every day.It's also important to avoid overwatering as this will decrease oxygen levels in the soil and create an environment where pathogens can thrive and, potentially, damage the plant.
