The Dragon Tongue prefers filtered light to develop fully. Bright, direct sunlight will burn the foliage so avoid placing Hemigraphis Repanda in full sun. The perennial Dragon’s Repanda is adaptable to low light. However, growing in low lighting slows down growth.
The plant prefers occasional watering to keep the soil moist. Water when the soil feels dry as this evergreen perennial does not do well in extensive dry spells.
