Care Guide for Leycesteria

Every week
Water
Water: Leycesteria prefers consistently moist environments, thriving with weekly watering to maintain soil moisture. Moderately drought-tolerant once established, it benefits from mulching to reduce watering needs during the growing season, making it ideal for outdoor cultivation.
Propagation: Leycesteria propagates via seed sowing, stem cuttings, or division. Optimal conditions include indirect sunlight and consistent warm temperatures. Use well-draining, fertile soil. Key steps involve preparing seeds in starter mix, using rooting hormone for cuttings, and careful division of the root ball. Maintain consistent moisture.
