Boehmeria caudata prefers consistent moisture. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler months but do not let the soil dry out completely.

Prune Boehmeria caudata to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or leggy stems at any time. Pinching back the tips of new growth will promote a more compact plant.

Major pruning can be done in early spring.

Boehmeria caudata can be propagated from stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings in spring or summer. Remove lower leaves and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.

Plant in a moist, well-draining potting mix and keep in a warm, humid environment until roots form.

Repot Boehmeria caudata every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting is best done in early spring before new growth begins.
