Bidens plants require rich, well-draining soil. It is not particular to a specific pH and can tolerate urban polluted locations. Well-drained soil will help avoid any possibility of root rot, a disease this plant is susceptible to. However, this plant does require its soil to be moist at all times in fact it prefers to dry out between watering's. It is a tricky but important balance for your plant to get enough water and have its soil be moist without overwatering at the same time.
How Much Sun Do Bidens Plants Need?
Bidens prefers a partially shaded location that receives filtered to full sunlight each day. Even though they can survive in full sun, they do their best when given protection from the hot sun. If you are planting Bidens in a garden, place it in a location that can be mostly shaded throughout the day. If you are using it in a container outside, make sure you place it in a location that does not get lots of direct sunlight. This will avoid any risk of burning the leaves or causing any other damage.
