Water: Goatweed thrives in tropical environments, requiring consistent moisture and high humidity. Water weekly to mimic natural rainfall, and prefer outdoor cultivation. Rainwater enhances foliage health and flowering potential, allowing goatweed to tolerate short dry periods.
Fertilize: For goatweed, use a balanced fertilizer with equal nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, applying quarterly. Increase frequency during active growth in spring and summer. Water after fertilizing to prevent root burn, and use slow-release types. Avoid fertilization during winter dormancy to prevent nutrient overload.
Pruning: Goatweed thrives with spring pruning, encouraging growth and enhancing air circulation. Trim dead stems before the growing season for vigorous blooms and shape maintenance. Use sterilized tools to avert disease and control its spread, preventing invasiveness.
Propagation: Goatweed can be propagated using cuttings by selecting healthy, non-flowering shoots. Cut below a node for optimal rooting, treat with rooting hormone, and plant in a well-draining mix. Maintain high humidity for successful growth and monitor for signs of rooting.
