How to keep Veronica Orsiniana.
Light
Speedwell comes from bright, open habitats and does best in full sun. It will tolerate some shade but favors direct sunlight for optimal growth. This plant, which can be annual or biennial, is recognized for its fondness for sun.
Temperature
Speedwell can adjust to a wide range of temperature conditions, but its distribution may still be limited by different combinations of moisture and heat. It performs best in warm summer climates with adequate rainfall or watering. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather or sustained high temperatures can increase the chance of Speedwell dying. In winter, protecting it properly from the cold can improve its survival rate.
Fertilizer
Speedwell requires regular feeding to encourage flowering but does not tolerate too much. It needs light applications of fertilizer given frequently throughout its whole life, especially during the peak growth period and while it is flowering. You should continue to feed your Speedwell until they stop blooming.
