Such a plant does not tolerate the process of transplantation, which is caused by strongly prolonged and deep roots that are not able to form a dense lump.
Little biota is extremely shadetodeleted, but needs constant watering. However, stagnation of water adversely affects it. In culture, it is best to use acidic soil.
Crossroads microbiota is most often used in landscape design. It will fit into any plant composition, but it will also look perfectly on the lawn. In addition, the plant has numerous healing properties, in particular, needles are known for its antibacterial effect.
