Daucus carota
What is the plant
Daucus carota, whose common names include wild carrot, bird's nest, bishop's lace, and Queen Anne's lace, is a white, flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native to temperate regions of Europe and southwest Asia, and naturalized to North America and Australia. Domesticated carrots are cultivars of a subspecies, Daucus carota subsp. sativus. The wild carrot is a herbaceous, somewhat variable biennial plant that grows between 30 and 60 cm (1 and 2 ft) tall, and is roughly hairy, with a stiff, solid stem. The leaves are tripinnate, finely divided and lacy, and overall triangular in shape. The leaves are bristly and alternate in a pinnate pattern that separates into thin segments. The flowers are small and dull white, clustered in flat, dense umbels.

How to Care for the Plant
Water
Allow the soil to dry slightly before watering again.
Pruning
It is important because damaged leaves and stems can actually be an energy drain on your plant. By removing those dead parts, you're taking some of that work off your plant’s plate and allowing it to divert its energy into healthy leaves and new growth!
Fertilizer
Universal fertilizer is granular and mineral product intended for fertilization of all types of garden cultivations. Its balanced content is suitable both for fruit trees, fruit bushes, vegetables and ornamental plants. The even composition of individual elements makes the fertilizer universal.

Sunlight
Part-shade/Semi-shade location.
Soil
Use a well-draining indoor potting mix with perlite to help with drainage.
Temperature
Carrots grow best in temperatures between 60 and 70°F. Temperatures below 50°F will stunt the growth of the foliage. Temperatures above the mid-80s°F will produce undesirable flavors in the carrots. Carrots can tolerate a light frost but prolonged exposure should be avoided.
