Hypericum perforatum has low requirements on soil environment, which can grow in general soil environment, but it grows vigorously in thick loose sandy soil with good drainage. When transplanting Hypericum japonicum seedlings, we must be careful not to plant them in cohesive soil, which will hinder their roots from absorbing oxygen and water.

Hypericum perforatum likes humid environment, and the soil should be kept slightly wet during maintenance. In summer, the weather is hot and the water evaporates quickly. We can appropriately increase the frequency of watering, water it once a day, and often spray water around its leaves to keep it moist. In case of rainy weather, stop watering and observe whether there is water in the soil. If there is stagnant water, drain it in time to avoid root rot.

When the climate gets warmer in spring, it can be pruned properly. After the flowering period of Hypericum perforatum, cutting off the residual flowers can promote the germination of new branches and promote their growth more vigorously.
