Dog hair dew

Circaea alpina subsp. caulescens

Growth Characteristics

Euphorbia alpina f. phyllosula is a perennial herbaceous plant native to Northeast Asia, including Korea. It primarily grows in shady wetlands or forests, reaching a height of 10–30 cm. It features small, delicate leaves and flowers, blooming with small white blossoms during the summer.

Propagation MethodsEuphorbia alpina is primarily propagated by seeds. The general method involves harvesting mature seeds in the autumn, storing them, and sowing them the following spring. It can also be propagated by dividing the clumps. Since new shoots grow well around the roots, these can be separated for cultivation.

Cultivation MethodsEuphorbia alpina prefers moist soil and thrives in partially shaded areas. Well-drained soil rich in organic matter is suitable. When cultivating, care must be taken to water regularly to prevent the soil from drying out. Additionally, light fertilizer should be applied during the growing season to aid growth.

Uses in the GardenThis plant can be effectively used in shady gardens or under trees. Its small flowers and delicate leaves add a natural touch to the garden. In addition, it is well-suited for natural or wildflower gardens and is excellent for planting alongside other shade-loving plants.

Important Pests and Control Methods
While Amur dew is relatively resistant to pests and diseases, root rot can occur due to excessive moisture. To prevent this, pay attention to drainage and avoid overwatering. Additionally, fungal infections that may occur on the leaves can be controlled using appropriate fungicides. Prevention involves regular observation and the use of fungicides to inhibit harmful bacteria.
