Care Instructions
Tall Meadow Rue prefers bright, indirect light and thrives in moderate temperatures. It requires consistent moisture and benefits from a humid environment. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging. The plant can tolerate a range of temperatures but prefers moderate conditions.Soil
Thalictrum pubescens thrives in well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix of garden soil with organic matter such as compost is ideal. Ensure the soil is rich in nutrients to support healthy growth.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically in spring and summer, to promote vigorous growth. Apply the fertilizer every 4-6 weeks, following the manufacturer's instructions.Repotting
Repot Tall Meadow Rue every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. 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, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Propagation

Carefully dig up the plant and separate the root clumps, ensuring each division has roots and shoots. Replant the divisions in suitable soil. Seeds can be sown in late winter or early spring.Pruning
Prune Tall Meadow Rue in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged stems and cut back the plant to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Regular pruning helps prevent overcrowding and promotes better air circulation.Toxicity
