Water: Thriving in moisture-rich environments, oresitrophe requires consistent hydration and evenly moist soil. It should be watered weekly, with increased needs during the growing season to support vigorous growth and flowering. Prolonged dry spells negatively affect its health as an herbaceous perennial.
