Indian hemp generally requires full sun to partial shade, consistent moisture without waterlogging, and thrives in well-draining soil with a preference for slightly acidic to neutral pH. Gardeners face challenges such as susceptibility to root rot, especially in poorly drained soils, and potential issues with pests such as aphids. Seasonally, indian hemp demands protection from extreme cold, and in areas with harsh winters, mulching or shelter may be necessary. During growth periods, attention to increased watering needs is critical, while in dormant seasons, reduced moisture is recommended.
