Sinapis gorraea Plant Care

Sinapis gorraea (Sinapis gorraea) belongs to the Brassicaceae family within the Sinapis genus. Sinapis gorraea is native to cooler regions of North Africa, temperate regions of Europe, and parts of Asia.

Sinapis gorraea displays an upright, branching herb growth habit, reaching up to 2 ft tall with a spread of approximately 1.5 ft. Sinapis gorraea produces small yellow flowers in clusters.

Leaf size: approximately 4 inches.

Sinapis gorraea requires watering every 4–7 days. Allow the top layer of soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter when growth slows.

Sinapis gorraea thrives in full sun to partial shade.

Sinapis gorraea grows best at temperatures of 50–75°F. Sinapis gorraea prefers humidity levels of 40–60%.

Well-draining loamy soil rich in organic matter. Good drainage is essential for Sinapis gorraea to prevent waterlogging, which leads to root rot and fungal issues.

Feed Sinapis gorraea every 3 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.

Annually 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.

Sinapis gorraea can be propagated through seeds. Similar propagation techniques also apply to wild mustard plant care, which shares the same genus.
