Water: Rue nude prefers stable hydration and thrives with balanced soil moisture, requiring weekly watering. Typically grown outdoors, it benefits from seasonal rains to optimize its growth cycle and ensure resilience, adapting well to its original region's moderate moisture conditions.

Fertilize: For rue nude, apply balanced nutrition fertilizers bimonthly during growth seasons with a quarter-strength solution, reducing in dormancy. Avoid over-fertilization to prevent root burn. Adjust fertilization seasonally, and use gloves for safety. Water soil beforehand to enhance nutrient absorption and protect roots.

Pruning: Rue nude is a bushy, aromatic perennial valued for its ornamental leaves. Optimal pruning occurs in early to late spring, focusing on removing dead branches and shaping for fullness. This practice enhances air circulation, reducing disease risk. Use clean, sharp tools for effective pruning.

Propagation: Rue nude is a resilient perennial herb with medicinal properties, propagated through cuttings from healthy, non-flowering shoots. Use a well-drained substrate and maintain optimal moisture and light conditions. Careful handling of stems is crucial for promoting robust plant growth.
