Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as licorice-plant prefers slightly drier conditions and is susceptible to root rot. Reduce watering in winter to encourage a dormant period.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Prune regularly to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back stem tips to prevent legginess.

Heavy pruning can be done in early spring before new growth emerges to rejuvenate the plant and control size, especially for containers.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Select healthy, non-flowering shoots, cut them to about 10-15 cm, remove lower leaves, and insert into moist potting mix.

Roots typically form within a few weeks in warm conditions.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably sandy. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excess moisture retention.

Repot in spring before active growth begins.
