Water: Willowherb thrives in moist habitats, preferring well-hydrated soil. It requires weekly watering to maintain its vitality and benefits from natural rain cycles that support its growth by providing varying moisture levels throughout the seasons.

Pruning: Willowherb features slender stems and vibrant pink flowers. Prune from early to late spring, removing spent flowers and weak growth to enhance blooms. Thinning increases air circulation and mitigates disease. Use clean, sharp tools to avoid damage and ensure plant health.

Propagation: Willowherb propagation is best achieved through sowing fresh seeds in a well-draining substrate. Lightly press the seeds into the soil for optimal light exposure. Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging to promote healthy growth of willowherb.
