Phyla nodiflora thrives in consistently moist soil but tolerates brief dry spells once established. Water thoroughly when the top centimeter of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

In containers, adjust frequency based on pot size and environmental factors.

Pruning is primarily for shaping and controlling spread. Trim back overgrown stems to maintain a compact form and encourage denser foliage. Deadheading spent flowers can also improve appearance.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to encourage vigorous flowering.

Phyla nodiflora is easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take 4-6 inch cuttings in spring or summer and remove lower leaves.

Insert the cut end into moist potting mix or rooting hormone and place in a warm, bright location. Roots typically form within a few weeks.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in early spring to refresh the soil and provide more space. Established plants can be divided in spring if they become overcrowded or to propagate.

Choose a slightly larger pot with well-draining potting mix.
