Water consistently once the top 2-3 cm of soil has dried out. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot. In hotter months, increase watering frequency.

Reduce watering significantly during cooler periods to prevent overhydration and potential fungal issues. Ensure good drainage.

Prune Lippia abyssinica in spring to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Regular light pruning can help maintain a tidy appearance and promote flowering.

Hard pruning can be done to rejuvenate older plants, but do so sparingly.

Propagate Lippia abyssinica from stem cuttings. Take 4-6 inch cuttings in spring or summer and remove lower leaves. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist, well-draining potting mix.

Keep in a warm, bright location. Roots typically form within 4-6 weeks.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one, with ample drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repot in spring before the active growing season begins to minimize transplant shock.
