Tunux' Moonwort

Tunux' Moonwort prefers to grow in moist but well-draining soil. Water thoroughly whenever the surface soil begins to dry (about once a week, more often in hot, dry weather). Soak the soil completely and allow it to drain. Cut back on watering during periods of dormancy, especially during winter months.

Tunux' Moonwort (Botrychium tunux) does best with indirect sunlight. Too much direct sun can lead to wilting and yellowing leaves. For best results, the plant should be exposed to several hours of direct sunlight in the morning and afternoon, with a few hours of shade in the middle of the day to avoid intense heat. Moisture is also essential, so the soil should not be allowed to dry out completely; regular, shallow watering is recommended. It is also beneficial to fertilize twice a year, in early spring and midsummer. With the right combination of sunlight and moisture, Tunux' Moonwort (Botrychium tunux) should be a vibrant addition to any garden.

Tunux' Moonwort (Botrychium tunux) should be pruned once a year during early spring to ensure healthy growth. Before pruning, inspect each stem for any unhealthy or wilted foliage. Remove these dead and damaged leaves by cutting them close to the main stem. After the damaged leaves are removed, trim any branches or stems that may have grown too far, such as those that have grown away from the center of the plant. This will encourage denser growth and better structure. It is important to use pruning shears made for plants, and to exercise caution while pruning to ensure the health of the plant.
