Lacy Phacelia grows vertically and new growth will emerge from the top of the plant.

The seeds of Lacy Phacelia can be used to grow new plants! After your plant flowers, any seeds that formed can be collected and germinated in potting soil.

When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.

Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.

Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.

Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
