A note from PlantMom

Button burrweed is fairly disease-resistant and generally does not tend to get sick. Still, it can be vulnerable to pests and diseases present in its surroundings. These problems are usually minor. For care, the plant needs moderate maintenance. It should be pruned regularly to keep a neat appearance and support healthy growth. Fertilizing can also encourage flowering. Button burrweed is appropriate for anyone with outdoor space, like a garden or patio, and does not require extensive care experience. It may need more attention when grown indoors.

CARE GUIDE

How to keep Soliva Anthemifolia.

Light

Button burrweed comes from bright, open habitats and performs best in full sun. It will tolerate some shade but prefers direct sunlight for ideal growth. This plant, which can be annual or biennial, is noted for its sun-loving habit.

Temperature

Button burrweed is quite adaptable to temperature, tolerating high heat and wide temperature swings. In hot conditions, attention should be paid to watering and providing appropriate shade to prevent sunburn. On the other hand, Button burrweed is fairly sensitive to low temperatures. While it can handle some cold, very low temperatures can cause frost damage.

Fertilizer

Button burrweed does well with regular, dilute fertilizer applications to encourage healthy leaf development. You should feed Button burrweed roughly once a month during the summer. Nitrogen is important for foliage, and supplying nitrogen-rich fertilizers helps Button burrweed prosper.
