Hoary Goosefoot

Hoary Goosefoot (Chenopodium incanum) should be watered regularly to keep the soil moist. Water your Hoary Goosefoot once a week, or whenever the soil feels dry to the touch. When watering, make sure to thoroughly moisten the soil to a depth of 6 to 8 inches. Once the soil is dry again, it's time to water again. Avoid over watering as this can cause root rot. During hot and dry weather, Hoary Goosefoot may require more frequent watering. In cold weather and winter months, you should reduce your watering frequency.

Hoary Goosefoot (Chenopodium incanum) needs full sun for most of the day, which means that 6–8 hours of direct sunlight is ideal. In areas with long summers, plants may benefit from a few hours of shade in the heat of the day. In areas with short summers, Hoary Goosefoot requires full sun the whole day to ensure adequate growth and flowering. The best time of day for sunlight is during the morning when the rays are most intense. Full sun is needed for this plant species for it to thrive and produce abundant blooms.

Hoary Goosefoot (Chenopodium incanum) can be pruned in late winter or early spring when the plant has become dormant and is not actively growing. Start by removing any dead, broken, or diseased branches and stem tips. Next, thin out any overcrowded branches and stems without cutting back too severely. It's best to leave several healthy shoots and stems in order to maintain structural integrity and bushiness. The goal is to open up the canopy and allow more light to reach the lower foliage. Finally, use snips to trim the tips of any remaining branches, making sure to cut just above a leaf node to encourage bushier growth.
