Pogostemon heyneanus prefers consistently moist soil. Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler months but do not let the soil dry out completely. Ensure good drainage.

Pinch back the tips of stems regularly to encourage bushier growth and prevent the plant from becoming leggy. Remove any yellowing or dead leaves promptly. Pruning can also be done to maintain desired size and shape.

This stimulates new growth.

Pogostemon heyneanus is easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take 5-10 cm cuttings from healthy stems, remove the lower leaves, and plant them in moist potting mix or water.

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

Repot your Pogostemon heyneanus every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season begins.
