Pit Seed Goosefoot

Watering Pit Seed Goosefoot plants often requires more frequent watering than other plant species. During the growing season, you should water the plants once every week to 10 days, making sure that the soil is moist but not soggy. During the winter months, reduce the watering, and only water when the top inch or 2 of soil is dry. When watering, douse the plant heavily with water so that it reaches down deeper into the soil. Avoid getting too much water on the foliage of the plant to prevent disease.

Pit Seed Goosefoot (Chenopodium berlandieri) is a plant species that prefers full sun, which means it should get 8 or more hours of direct sunlight each day. This plant does best when placed in a south-facing window or in a sunny area outside with direct access to the sun. It thrives in temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit (18-24 degrees Celsius). This plant should be protected from strong winds, as they can easily dry out its leaves.

Pit Seed Goosefoot (Chenopodium berlandieri) should be pruned during the spring before new growth begins and the flower buds start to form. Pruning requires cutting off any dead or diseased branches or canes to maintain the overall health of the plant. This should also include removal of any suckers or shoots that may be growing from the base of the plant. Pruning should be done judiciously as significant pruning can reduce flowering. With Pit Seed Goosefoot, aim to cut out no more than 1-third of the total plant structure.
