How to keep Lycopus Exaltatus.
Light
Cut-leaved gypsywort is a sun-loving, herbaceous perennial that originates from open habitats and commonly grows in meadows and grasslands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun conditions.
Temperature
Cut-leaved gypsywort can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, although its range may still be limited by various combinations of moisture and heat. It does best in warm summer climates when it receives adequate rainfall or watering. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather or sustained high temperatures can raise the chance of Cut-leaved gypsywort dying. In winter, protecting it from cold can increase its survival rate.
Fertilizer
One fertilizer application in spring is typically enough for Cut-leaved gypsywort, though repeated feedings can maximize growth. Fertilize every month to a month and a half.
