Chickweed is a global plant that started in Eurasia and with human help has now conquered the world. It has also conquered my greenhouse and all my potted plants. I don\u2019t particularly mind this weed except when it completely overwhelms more delicate potted treasures. It is easy to remove because all of its growth comes from single stem at ground level\u2013I can just clip it off there with some fingernails and I\u2019ve slowed down its takeover for another month or two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
