How to keep Cerastium Sylvaticum.
Light
Sticky chickweed performs best in full sun, though it can tolerate lower light levels. Native to sunny habitats, it fares poorly in heavy shade. Conversely, too much sunlight can be damaging, but it tolerates brighter conditions better than some other species.
Temperature
Sticky chickweed is native to habitats where temperatures range from 68 to 95 °F (20 to 35 ℃). It favors a temperate climate, so seasonal adjustments may be needed to maintain those conditions.
Fertilizer
Sticky chickweed does well with regular, light applications of fertilizer to encourage healthy leaf development. Fertilize Sticky chickweed roughly once a month during the summer. Nitrogen is important for foliage, and adding nitrogen-rich sources helps Sticky chickweed flourish.
