watering

Fogg's Goosefoot (Chenopodium foggii) should be watered when the soil is dry to the touch, about once a week to once every 2 weeks. When watering, thoroughly saturate the soil, allowing water to flow out the bottom of the pot. To maintain the right soil moisture level, check the soil before watering, and avoid allowing the soil to become soggy.

sunlight

Fogg's Goosefoot (Chenopodium foggii) is a native plant species that thrives in full sun, meaning it needs at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight a day in order for it to perform optimally. It is best suited for a garden that receives direct sunlight for most of the day, preferably from mid-morning to mid-afternoon. In areas where the sun is less intense, this plant species can benefit from supplemental light such as artificial grow lights. Special care should be taken to ensure that the grow lights are of appropriate brightness and are not left on for too long.

pruning

For Fogg's Goosefoot (Chenopodium foggii), pruning is generally not necessary. This plant species is tolerant of a variety of pruning levels and types, so there is no specific time or amount that needs to be done. Instead, the goal with any pruning of this type of plant would be to maintain its overall shape and structure, creating balance between the main stems and foliage. Some large or overgrown clumps of Fogg's Goosefoot might benefit from being divided every 2 to 3 years, while smaller clumps should not need dividing for at least a few years. Additionally, thinning out any crowding of the small stems can help new growth and flowering.
