Ellesmere Island Braya

Low Northern Braya plants should be watered at least once a week during the active growing period in the summertime. During this time, it’s a good idea to give them a good soaking so that the soil is moist but not water-logged. For the winter, this plant should only be watered once every 2 weeks or so, and even less often during a rainy stretch. As a general rule, it’s recommended to not water this plant if the soil is still damp. Make sure not to water the leaves as this could lead to diseases like powdery mildew.

Low Northern Braya (Braya humilis) is a plant species that grows in Greenland, Iceland, and Faroe Islands. It prefers low nutrient, acidic, and slightly damp soils. Its optimal growth occurs when exposed to full sunlight, 8-10 hours of sunlight per day. Braya humilis should not be exposed to extended periods of intense light, which may cause reduced growth and chlorosis. It will grow best in full sun in spring and summer, but may require some light shade during the hottest parts of the day in the summertime. The lower areas of this plant species will benefit from slightly more shade during the hottest months. Shade and air temperature should be considered when determining the amount of sunlight this species receives.

Low Northern Braya (Braya humilis) is a small flowering plant that is generally found in the boreal and arctic regions of North America. In terms of pruning, it is recommended to complete a light pruning of the plant in late spring or early summer, when the flowers begin to wilt. Pruning should focus on removing any stray or dead flowers and deadhead the plant. When pruning, it is important not to over-prune the plant. This species is quite delicate and is best if left untouched. Additionally, it is important to avoid pruning if the plant is under stress due to cold temperatures or lack of water. If any pruning is done, it should be done with a sterilized pair of scissors to avoid causing any further damage to the plant.
