How to plant and care for SEM. ASCLEPIAS COMMUNE

1. When to sow: in spring when the soil is workable or in autumn in regions where winter is not harsh, to promote natural germination in the next season.
2. Soil preparation: choose a spot in full sun or with light shade and well-drained soil. Avoid areas prone to stagnant water accumulation.
3. Planting: spread the seeds on the surface or lightly cover them with a thin layer of substrate; no strong pressure on the seeds – they benefit from light contact with the soil.
4. Germination and growth: provide moderate humidity until the first shoots appear. Once the plants are established, let them develop, ensuring to avoid excess water.
5. Maintenance: lightly prune after flowering to maintain the shape of the bed and encourage a second wave of flowering if conditions allow. Let some plants self-seed naturally to enrich your wild habitat.
