False Cleavers prefer consistently moist soil but can tolerate short periods of dryness. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering in cooler months when growth slows significantly.

Pruning False Cleavers is mainly for shaping and controlling its sprawling habit. Trim back overgrown stems in late spring or early summer to encourage bushier growth and more flowers.

Remove any dead or damaged stems at any time of the year.

False Cleavers can be easily propagated from seeds sown in spring, either directly outdoors or in a propagator. Cuttings taken in late spring or early summer will also root readily in moist potting mix or water.

Repot False Cleavers every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. This is best done in spring before new growth begins.

Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
