CARE GUIDE

How to keep Mazus Fauriei.

Light

The Taiwan Mazus is indigenous to habitats like forest understories or rocky terrains, where it is naturally shaded. It favors partial sunlight conditions, but can also adjust to full sunlight or complete shade, showing its adaptability and resilience.

Temperature

Taiwan Mazus possesses the capacity to adjust to an extensive assortment of temperature circumstances, yet its dispersion might be constrained by varying combinations of heat and water conditions. It flourishes optimally in temperate climates during summer if there is sufficient rain or watering. Long-lasting periods of overcast and wet weather, together with extended high temperatures, can heighten the chance of Taiwan Mazus perishing. In the winter season, correct safeguarding against cold can enhance the survival rate of the plant.

Fertilizer

The optimal period to provide nutrients to a Taiwan Mazus is at the start of spring, as it moves out of dormancy and begins to grow actively. Fertilizing it supplies essential nutrients that foster its healthy development. Despite the Taiwan Mazus not requiring a high level of fertilization, carrying out this process annually can improve its endurance and encourage improved, prolonged blossoming.
