Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root rot. Aim for moist, but not saturated, soil.

Reduce watering frequency in cooler months when growth slows down.

Prune regularly by harvesting outer leaves to encourage bushier growth and continuous production. Remove any flowering stalks as they appear to maintain leaf quality and prevent the plant from going to seed.

Dead or damaged foliage should also be trimmed.

Propagate by division of established clumps in spring or early autumn. Seeds can also be sown directly into the garden in spring.

For divisions, carefully separate the root ball into smaller sections, ensuring each has viable roots and shoots.

Sorrel is a perennial that thrives when planted in the ground. If grown in containers, repot every 2-3 years in spring into a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix.

Ensure adequate drainage holes to prevent root rot.
