Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months but avoid letting the soil dry out completely.

Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.

Prune regularly to maintain a compact and bushy shape. Pinch back the tips of stems to encourage branching. Remove any leggy or damaged shoots as needed.

Pruning also helps promote more abundant flowering and foliage production.

Propagate Redivy easily from stem cuttings. Take 7-10 cm cuttings from healthy stems, remove lower leaves, and insert them into moist potting mix or water.

Roots usually develop within a few weeks, after which they can be potted up.

Repot your Strobilanthes alternata every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting in spring is ideal, coinciding with the start of active growth.
