Temperature
Small broomrape naturally occurs in habitats where the temperature mainly ranges from 68 to 95 ℉ (20 to 35 ℃). It prefers these thermal conditions. Seasonal adjustments may be necessary to reproduce its native temperature preferences.
Fertilizer

You should provide fertilizer to Small broomrape about once a month during the summer. Nitrogen is essential for the leaves, and adding nitrogen-rich fertilizers helps Small broomrape prosper.
