Hydrocotyle bowlesioides prefers consistently moist soil. Water thoroughly when the top centimeter of soil begins to feel dry. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly in cooler months when growth slows down.

Prune Hydrocotyle bowlesioides to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Trim back leggy stems by cutting just above a leaf node.

Remove any yellowing or dead foliage promptly to improve air circulation and plant health. Pinching back the tips promotes a fuller appearance.

Hydrocotyle bowlesioides is easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take cuttings of 5-10 cm length with at least two nodes.

Remove the lower leaves and insert the cut end into moist potting mix or place in water until roots form. New plants can then be potted up.

Repot Hydrocotyle bowlesioides every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably one formulated for houseplants. Repotting is best done in spring before active growth begins.
