Maintain consistently moist soil, mimicking swampy conditions. The substrate should never be allowed to dry out completely. In aquatic setups, ensure a steady water flow without being too turbulent.

Excessive drying will stress the plant and hinder growth.

Pruning encourages bushier growth and maintains a desirable shape. Trim back leggy stems just above a leaf node. This can be done regularly as needed throughout the growing season.

Pruned stems can often be used for propagation.

Propagation is easily achieved through stem cuttings. Take 5-10 cm cuttings from healthy stems and plant them directly into moist substrate or float them in water.

Roots will form relatively quickly, allowing for transplanting once established.

Repotting is typically necessary when the plant becomes root-bound or outgrows its container. This is best done in spring or early summer.

Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and use a well-draining potting mix, ideally with added organic matter for moisture retention.
