How to keep Boechera Drummondii.
Light
Drummond's rockcress comes from bright, open habitats and flourishes in full sun. It can tolerate partial sun, though it favors direct sunlight for best growth. This plant, which appears as an annual or a biennial, is noted for its sun-loving character.
Fertilizer
Drummond's rockcress require substantial quantities of nutrients and are classified as heavy consumers. To sustain healthy growth and vibrant colors, the plants need regular, small doses of nitrogen and potassium fertilizers and intermittent applications of phosphorus, sulfur, micronutrients, and magnesium. Uninterrupted fertilization during the growth period is necessary to avoid symptoms of deficiency and ensure peak growth.
