About this weed

Stellaria media, also known as common Chickweed.
It grows best in moist, neutral to acidic soil and full sun or partial shade.
Chickweed thrives in cool, moist, and shaded areas, such as nurseries, greenhouses, cultivated fields, pastures, gardens, shady lawns, roadsides, and plantation crops.
It has green, hairless, oval leaves that are 6 to 25 mm long by 3 to 10 mm wide.
The flowers are small, about 1 cm in diameter, with 5 bifid white petals, 1–3 mm long, nestled inside the larger (3–5 mm long) sepals.
