hemp agrimony

Hemp Agrimony (Eupatorium chinense) should be watered generously once a week, using about 1.3-2.3 inches (3-6 cm) of water per water session. This plant thrives best in soils that remain moist but are allowed to dry somewhat between watering. Let the top 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) of the soil to dry out slightly before watering again. Too much water can cause root-rot, so it is best to water only when the soil is slightly dry. It is also preferable to water in the morning rather than the evening as the shorter hours of daylight make it easier for the plant to dry quicker and reduce the chances of fungal infections.

In general, hemp agrimony (Eupatorium chinense) should be grown in full sunlight in order to thrive. This plant species prefers at least 6 hours of direct sun each day, ideally in the mid- to late-morning hours. During the hottest summer months, hemp agrimony should be provided with some partial shade in the early afternoon in order to prevent burning of the foliage. Additionally, hemp agrimony can tolerate temperatures of up to 30°C (86°F), but temperatures higher than this will result in stress and reduce growth.

Hemp agrimony (Eupatorium chinense) should be pruned to maintain its form and renew its growth. Pruning should be done in the spring and, if overgrown, in the fall. Taking the time to prune your hemp agrimony will help to encourage new growth and prevent it from becoming overcrowded or weak. In spring, prune back any dead or diseased branches and thin out any overly crowded or weak stems. Also, cut back the old flowering stems to the basal leaves. Be sure to discard any pruned material to prevent the spread of pests or diseases. In the fall, after flowering, prune any weak branches and lightly shape the main stems if needed. Aim to prune away no more than a quarter of the total plant height. With regular pruning, hemp agrimony will maintain its form and a pleasant appearance. Also, by pruning the dead stems, it will help it to remain healthy and encourage new foliage growth.
