How to keep Sisymbrium Runcinatum.
Light
Mediterranean rocket is native to habitats like forest understories or rocky sites that offer natural shade. It prefers partial sun but can adjust to full sun or full shade, demonstrating its versatility and hardiness.
Temperature
Mediterranean rocket comes from tropical areas, where the climate is generally warm and humid. Consequently, it is well suited to high heat and moisture. It does not tolerate sudden temperature changes and prefers a steady thermal environment, so avoiding temperature swings indoors is important. It typically cannot withstand cold and needs relatively high temperatures to grow. If the surrounding temperature falls too low, the plant may stop growing or even die.
Fertilizer
Providing fertilizer is essential for the care of Mediterranean rocket. Consistent feeding during the growing season helps maintain the energy needed for its showy leaves and supports overall growth. Failing to fertilize can lead to unhealthy foliage, reduced ornamental appeal, and stunted or weakened growth that is prone to breakage.
