Smooth Greenland Braya

Smooth Greenland Braya (Braya thorild-wulffii subsp. glabrata) is a species of shrub that is native to Greenland. It requires regular watering to remain healthy and grow normally. Light watering can occur throughout the growing season, about twice a month. On hot days, the plant may require additional water. Water the plant until the soil is slightly damp and avoid completely saturating the soil. During the winter, the Smooth Greenland Braya should be watered less frequently, once every few weeks or so. During this dormant period, the plant requires minimal water. Over-watering should be avoided to avoid root rot.

Smooth Greenland Braya (Braya thorild-wulffii subsp. glabrata) require full sunlight to thrive. This plant species needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight during peak summer months. Additionally, this plant also requires at least 3 hours of strong winter sunshine in order to provide adequate photosynthesis and to stimulate stem elongation growth. Smooth Greenland Braya plants should be placed in a location with maximum exposure to sunlight in order to ensure healthy growth, and to promote the development of flowers in springtime.

Smooth Greenland Braya is a low-growing perennial plant native to Greenland and the northernmost parts of northern Europe. Its bloom time is in the spring and its pruning time is best in the early summer. Pruning should take place after the flowering season is over. Pruning should generally be minimal, as only dead, diseased, or damaged growth should be removed. Young plants can have their stems pruned to encourage new growth. Once the plant is established, avoid pruning more than a third of the plant’s stems in 1 season. Pruning should also be targeted to remove any flower stalks that form to encourage vegetative growth.
