Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage in the pot to avoid soggy conditions, which can harm the plant.

Prune regularly to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove spent flowers to promote continuous blooming. Trim back leggy stems to encourage branching and a fuller appearance.

Pruning can be done at any time, but is most effective in spring.

Propagate easily from stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings from healthy stems, remove lower leaves, and dip the cut end in rooting hormone. Plant the cuttings in moist potting mix or water.

Roots usually form within a few weeks, after which they can be transplanted.

Repot your Barleria lupulina every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one, with drainage holes.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a combination of potting soil and perlite or sand. Repot in spring.
