How to keep Boehmeria Caudata.
Light

Temperature
Membranous nettle can tolerate a wide variety of temperatures, though its range may still be restricted by different mixes of moisture and heat. It performs best in warm summer conditions with sufficient rainfall or irrigation. Long periods of cloudy, rainy weather, as well as extended high temperatures, can raise the chance of Membranous nettle dying. In winter, adequate protection from the cold can enhance the plant’s survival rate.
