Bacopa monnieri thrives in consistently moist soil. Water regularly to keep the substrate damp, especially during warmer months and active growth. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as this can stress the plant.

Reduce watering slightly in cooler, dormant periods but maintain adequate moisture.

Prune Bacopa monnieri to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back leggy stems regularly. You can also prune after flowering to prevent excessive seed production and promote a second bloom.

Trim any yellow or dead foliage to improve aesthetics.

Propagate Bacopa monnieri easily from stem cuttings. Take 5-10 cm cuttings in spring or early summer. Remove lower leaves and insert the cut ends into moist potting mix or water.

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

Repot your Herb of Grace every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one, with good drainage.

Spring is the ideal time for repotting, coinciding with the start of active growth.
