Water

Water: Lippia adapts well to semi-arid environments, thriving with infrequent rainfall. It is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering every 2-3 weeks. When grown outdoors, supplemental watering should replicate natural patterns, especially during scarce rain to prevent stress.

Propagation: Propagating lippia involves using cuttings or seeds. Key elements include warm temperatures, well-draining soil, and bright, indirect light. For cuttings, maintain high humidity and use rooting hormone. Follow a step-by-step process to ensure successful rooting until plants establish well.
