I have a confession to make. We all have that one plant that humbles us, and for me, it’s Bupleurum. Honestly, Bupleurum is notorious! It’s the "Student" that refuses to graduate no matter what I do. Even seasoned flower farmers treat it like a temperamental houseguest that won't leave, but also won't help with the dishes. Since we talk a lot in this group about the "Sprinters, Students, and Marathoners" concept, I’ve officially labeled Bupleurum the ultimate "Special Needs Student." It has such a specific set of biological triggers that if you miss even one, you’re left with a tray of dirt and zero germination. I’ve tried the deep freeze, the total darkness, direct fall planting and the cool soil tricks... and yet, my graveyard is full of them. Now I want to hear from you: 1. Who is the "Special Needs Student" in your garden? That one plant that requires a 5-page manual just to get it to sprout? 2. Or, has anyone here actually conquered Bupleurum? If you’ve managed to get this one to graduate, please drop your "Soil Fixer" secrets below and save me from my own frustration! Let’s troubleshoot our most stubborn plants together. 👇
