Taraxacum Lacistophylloides

Taraxacum lacistophylloides is native to habitats with plenty of sunlight, such as open fields and sunlit meadows. It prefers full sun, although it can tolerate partial sun.

Taraxacum lacistophylloides prefers moderate temperatures, about the same range people usually find comfortable. It grows best when conditions are not excessively hot or cold. The main concern with high temperatures is the chance of sunburn, so giving some shade in summer is recommended to prevent overheating. When temperatures fall, Taraxacum lacistophylloides becomes dormant. To keep it growing continuously, warmer winter temperatures need to be maintained. Frost can injure the plant and should be avoided.

To maximize the yield and flavor of Taraxacum lacistophylloides, supply adequate nitrogen at every stage of growth, from before planting through to harvest. Plants that receive regular watering and fertilization develop plentiful, vigorous leaves and are less bitter. Enrich the soil with organic matter such as compost or manure before planting, preferably 2 to 8 weeks ahead.
