How to keep Euphrasia Micrantha.

Light

Northern eyebright is native to habitats with dappled sunlight, such as forest understories or rocky locations that provide natural shade. It does best in partial sun but can also adapt to full sun.

Temperature

Northern eyebright can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but its distribution may still be restricted by certain combinations of moisture and heat. It does best in warm summer conditions with sufficient rainfall or watering. Extended stretches of cloudy, rainy weather, as well as prolonged high temperatures, increase the chance of Northern eyebright dying. In winter, adequate protection from cold can enhance the plant's survival rate.

Fertilizer

Frequent, light applications of fertilizer can support healthy leaf growth in Northern eyebright. You should feed Northern eyebright about once a month during the summer. Nitrogen is important for foliage, and adding nitrogen-rich sources helps Northern eyebright do well.
