Java waterdropwort

Java waterdropwort is a moisture-loving, semi-aquatic plant that prefers to stay consistently moist. It should be watered regularly, aiming for the soil around its roots to remain damp, but not fully saturated. It is best to water Java waterdropwort at least once every 2 days if temperatures are warm and the air is dry. If temperatures are cooler or the air is more humid, it can be watered every 3 to 4 days. Watering should take place in the morning and should ideally stop when the top layer of soil is damp. Any waterlogging or standing water should be avoided. Water the plant until water starts to drain from the bottom of the pot. This potted plant should also be placed in a tray of water.

Java waterdropwort is a plant species that thrives in sunny, humid areas. It prefers full sun for large portions of the day and should have at least 6 hours of direct sun every day for proper growth and health. Java waterdropwort can tolerate some partial shade, but too much shade can stress the plant and cause it to become leggy and floppy. Therefore, in order to maintain the best growth conditions, this plant species should have uninterrupted access to ample amounts of direct sunlight for several hours daily.

Pruning of Java waterdropwort should take place twice a year in the spring and fall. In the spring, you can trim back the plant by 1/3 when it first emerges. For the fall trim, reduce the stems by 1/2 to encourage growth of new stems for the following year. If you notice any dead or damaged stems, remove them to promote healthy growth.
