watering

Hacquetia epipactis should be watered regularly and evenly. It should receive about 1-2 inches of water per week, either from rainfall or by hand. During the hot summer months, it may need more water. Make sure the soil remains moist but not soggy. The amount of water needed may also vary depending on the temperature and the type of soil. Soil should also be well-draining. If the soil is constantly wet, it is best to reduce watering and make sure that the soil is well-draining.

sunlight

Hacquetia epipactis, sometimes known as Dwarf Bramble, is an evergreen perennial plant that tolerates a wide variety of sunlight levels and growing conditions. This species prefers partial shade, such as dappled shade under trees, although it can tolerate full sun if kept adequately moist during hot summer months. As a general rule of thumb, Hacquetia plants should ideally receive at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. If temperatures are high, providing afternoon shade is recommended in order to protect the plant from becoming overly stressed from the hot rays of the sun.

pruning

Pruning your Hacquetia epipactis should be done in late Spring and again in late Fall when the plant is dormant. This is a very low maintenance plant with no need for pruning in the Summer. Pruning should be done sparingly, as the plant does not tolerate drastic pruning or shearing. For a desirable and natural shape, lightly trim the end of stems that become too long and some of the flower heads. This will keep your Hacquetia neat and more beautiful.
