Spergula media

Spergularia media subsp. media comes from bright, open habitats and does best in full sun. It can tolerate some partial shade but prefers direct sunlight for optimal growth. This plant, which may be annual or biennial, is noted for its sun-loving character.

Spergularia media subsp. media can adapt to a wide range of temperature conditions, although its distribution may still be restricted by particular combinations of moisture and heat. It does best in warm summer conditions with sufficient rainfall or watering. Prolonged stretches of cloudy, rainy weather or extended high temperatures can raise the chance of Spergularia media subsp. media dying. In winter, adequate protection from cold can increase the plant's survival rate.

Spergularia media subsp. media responds well to regular, light applications of fertilizer to encourage healthy leaf development. Fertilize Spergularia media subsp. media roughly once a month during the summer. Nitrogen is important for foliage, so supplying nitrogen-rich sources helps Spergularia media subsp. media flourish.
