California Rosinweed Plant Care

California Rosinweed (Calycadenia micrantha) belongs to the Asteraceae family within the Calycadenia genus. California Rosinweed is native to relatively far-flung locations suggests it could easily be present in other areas between them and, as a newly classified species, has simply not been reported yet.

California Rosinweed displays a low-growing perennial growth habit, reaching up to 0.5 ft tall with a spread of approximately 1 ft. California Rosinweed produces small daisy-like flowers in various colors.

Leaf size: approximately 2 inches.

Calycadenia micrantha requires watering every 7–10 days. Allow the top layer of soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter when growth slows.

California Rosinweed thrives in full sun to partial shade.

Calycadenia micrantha grows best at temperatures of 50–85°F. California Rosinweed prefers humidity levels of 30–60%.

Well-draining sandy soil with some organic matter. Good drainage is essential for California Rosinweed to prevent waterlogging, which leads to root rot and fungal issues.

Feed California Rosinweed every 6 months during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced fertilizer diluted to the strength on the label.

Pause feeding in autumn and winter, when growth slows, and never fertilize dry soil — water first.

The PlantoScan app can remind you when to water and when to fertilize each plant.

Repot every 2-3 years in early spring. Choose a pot one size larger than the current container, and ensure it has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.

California Rosinweed can be propagated through seeds. Similar propagation techniques also apply to fremont's rosin-weed plant care, which shares the same genus.

California Rosinweed grows outdoors in USDA Zone 12a. It survives winters down to planting zone 12a. California Rosinweed is native to relatively far-flung locations suggests it could easily be present in other areas between them and, as a newly classified species, has simply not been reported yet. In cooler regions, grow California Rosinweed as a houseplant or bring it indoors before the first frost.
