Water the plant when the soil is almost completely dry, but avoid waterlogging. The plant can tolerate some drought but will perform best with regular watering during the growing season.Suelo

Repot Alkanna tinctoria when it outgrows its current container, typically every 2-3 years. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh loam soil.Propagación
Alkanna tinctoria can be propagated by seeds or root cuttings. The best time to propagate is in spring. For seed propagation, sow the seeds in a well-draining seed mix and keep them moist until germination. For root cuttings, take a healthy root section and plant it in a suitable growing medium.Poda
