How to keep Hypericum Lalandii.
Light
Small St. John's wort comes from bright, open habitats and flourishes in full sun. While it can tolerate partial shade, it prefers direct sunlight for optimal growth. This plant, which can be annual or biennial, is known for its sun-loving nature.
Temperature
Small St. John's wort can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, though its distribution may still be restricted by various combinations of moisture and heat. It performs best in warm summer climates with sufficient rainfall or watering. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather or long spells of high temperatures can raise the chance of Small St. John's wort dying. In winter, adequate protection from cold improves the plant's survival rate.
Fertilizer
When Small St. John's wort has opened most of its flowers to full size, resume fertilizing. At the peak of bloom, apply fertilizer every three to four weeks, as the weather allows. Then, once the plant begins producing fewer new flowers, stop fertilizing; there is no need to feed it when it can no longer set additional blooms.
