Water: Fallopia requires consistent moisture, thriving with weekly watering. It prefers a balanced hydration level, avoiding drought and excess moisture. As an outdoor plant in temperate regions, fallopia greatly benefits from natural rain patterns that align with its watering needs for optimal growth.
