Anthriscus caucalis, commonly known as bur chervil, is an annual plant in the Apiaceae family. It is native to Europe and parts of Asia but has spread to other temperate regions. The plant typically grows in disturbed areas such as roadsides and fields. It has finely divided leaves and small white flowers arranged in umbels.
Bur chervil is relatively easy to care for. It prefers moderate temperatures and medium light conditions. The plant should be watered when the soil is almost completely dry. It thrives in temperate climates and does not require high humidity levels.
土壤
Anthriscus caucalis prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in moderately fertile soil. Ensure the soil is not waterlogged to prevent root rot.
肥料

换盆
As an annual plant, Anthriscus caucalis does not require repotting. It completes its life cycle within one growing season.
传播
Bur chervil is propagated by seeds. Sow the seeds directly in the soil in early spring. The seeds require light to germinate, so do not cover them with soil.
