HOW TO GROW PEGANUM HARMALA RUE SEEDS

CARE AFTER GERMINATION PEGANUM HARMALA

Do not overwater, especially when the plants are dormant. Late spring or early summer is the ideal time for planting. Syrian Rue requires full sun and well-drained, dry, poor soil. It will go limp and die if the roots become too wet since the remaining roots can't cope with evaporation. If you grow the plant too rich, the growth will be too lush and soft and become very susceptible to fungus infection and bug damage. Plants grown in low light produce thin, flopping growth that blows over quickly and dries out rapidly during droughts.
