watering
Burdock (Arctium X Mixtum) should be watered once per week. Water the soil until damp, but be careful to not overwater. If overwatered, the soil should be allowed to dry before being watered again. Burdock also benefits from misting the foliage or increasing the humidity once per week. Make sure that the soil is allowed to dry out between waterings. Burdock should not be allowed to stand in water for extended periods of time.
sunlight
Burdock (Arctium x mixtum) prefers full sun, at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day. It does best in a sunny, well-drained location, and will tolerate partial shade as well. If the plant is grown in a shaded area, its growth may be stunted and leaves and stems may become less vigorous and prone to disease. Burdock prefers cooler temperatures during the day, with temperatures between 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit (18-21 Celsius) and exposure to direct sunlight during the late morning and early afternoon hours.
pruning
Burdock (Arctium X Mixtum) should be pruned in late winter to early spring. Prune back tall, lanky stems to 1/3 of their original length to promote increased branching and a more compact habit. This species can also be coppiced, which is a form of pruning where the plant is cut back to within a few inches of the ground. Coppicing should be done every few years to keep the plant full and healthy.
