This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of garden soil with compost or organic matter works well. Ensure the soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to promote healthy growth and flowering.Repotting
Repot Leopard's Bane every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Repot in the early spring before the growing season begins.Propagation
