Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering slightly during winter months when growth slows down.

Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as this can stress the plant.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or leggy stems. This can be done at any time of year. Pinching back the tips of young plants encourages bushier growth.

For older plants, significant pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins.

Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist potting mix. Keep the cuttings in a warm, humid environment with bright, indirect light.

Roots typically form within 4-6 weeks, after which they can be transplanted.

Repot your Broadleaf Nettle every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound, typically in spring. Choose a pot that is 2-5 cm larger in diameter than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Water thoroughly after repotting and return to its usual location.
