Water: Originating from harsh Siberian climates, siberian orache exhibits high drought tolerance and thrives with minimal moisture. It requires watering only twice a week and efficiently uses available water during its growing season, making it well-suited to fluctuating temperatures and low humidity conditions.

Pruning: Siberian orache thrives with spring pruning, ideally after the last frost, to remove dead or weak stems. This practice stimulates healthy growth, enhances air circulation, and improves overall plant vigor, resulting in a more abundant and attractive appearance.

Propagation: Siberian orache is a hardy plant that propagates well through seed sowing. Collect seeds from mature plants and sow in well-draining soil with organic matter. Water regularly until germination, then maintain moderate moisture. Thin seedlings to prevent overcrowding and promote healthy growth.
