false gromwell

False gromwell plants should be watered when the surrounding soil is dry, about once or twice a week. However, this may vary in specific environmental conditions. During the summer months, it is important to maintain a moist base for these plants. Once the soil surface has dried out, the soil should be thoroughly watered. Make sure to also water the plant's foliage in addition to the surrounding soil, as this helps the plant absorb essential nutrients and helps keep the leaves looking healthy. Additionally, it is important to avoid over-watering the false gromwell as this can damage its root system.

False gromwell plants prefer full sun and well-drained soil. They should be exposed to a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight every day in order to thrive and grow properly. If grown in areas with partial sunlight, it is important to ensure that the plant receives a minimum of 4 hours of direct sun each day. To maximize the plant’s sunlight exposure, it is best to plant the false gromwell in an area where it is not shaded by larger plants. During the summer months, the plant will benefit from additional sunlight as temperatures rise.

False gromwell should be pruned back in late fall or early spring before new growth begins. Pruning should be done in moderation, removing only dead or thin stems and trimming back the plants as necessary in order to maintain an appropriate size and promote a bushy growth habit. It is important to make sure that the stem is cut back at least a few inches from the old woody growth to ensure that new growth will be able to form. After pruning is complete, the plants should be provided with enough water to help them to recover.
