mouse-ear chickweed

Mouse-ear chickweed likes to be watered moderately, about once every 4-7 days depending on your climate and time of year. In the summer, when temperatures are higher and soil dries out quicker, you may need to water more often. Water the soil until it's evenly moist, but not soggy, and allow the top inch or 2 of soil to dry out before watering again. During the winter months you can cut back on watering slightly.

Mouse-ear chickweed is a plant species that requires direct sunlight for optimal growth. It should ideally receive 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day, with the most intense light early in the morning hours. The species does best when grown in well-draining soil in warm, sunny spots. Mouse-ear chickweed should be kept moist but be sure to avoid overwatering. Avoid planting the seed too deep, as they need light to germinate. The mouse-ear chickweed is a hardy plant that can tolerate a wide range of growing conditions and will produce flowers from late spring to early summer.

Mouse-ear Chickweed (Cerastium arvense subsp. glandulosum) is often best pruned in early spring, just as new growth begins. In some mild climates, these may be pruned in the late fall or early winter. Pruning should be moderate, so as not to damage branches or stems, but enough to thin and shape the plant. It is important to preserve the stems, as they bear the flowers and help to maintain the shape of the plant. Be sure to periodically remove any dead flower heads to encourage new growth and a flush of flowers. Pruning should be done gently and thoughtfully, as too much aggressive shearing can damage the plant and lead to a loss of flowers.
