Grecian foxglove is a super rare houseplant 🌿 that needs regular watering to thrive. They do best in long-lasting, direct light ☀️ and should be less than 1 foot from a window.
Grecian foxglove likes soil that is well draining. Your plant shouldn't need added fertilizers if you repot each time it doubles in size.

How to fertilize Grecian foxglove
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Grecian foxglove after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Foxglove has aphids (again)… How am I able to stop my foxglove from getting aphids? This is the second time that my foxglove got aphids. I have mint and green onion growing near the foxglove (since I’ve read they’re natural anti pests), and I do try to spray an anti-pest mixture (mostly water with two drops of dish soap and 1/4 teaspoon olive oil) Is it me or the plant??? #PestControl #pestproblems
