'JS Caliente' knotweed is a perennial that primarily requires plenty of moisture and nutrients for its lush growth and rich flowering. It will thrive best in a sunny location or in partial shade. The sun supports the richness of the crimson flowers, but in such a case, it is necessary to ensure that the soil never dries out completely. Ideal is loamy and humous soil that can retain water, but at the same time is not permanently muddy. Before planting the seedling, we recommend working mature compost into the soil, which will improve its structure. Plant the plants at intervals of 40 to 60 cm (approximately 3 to 5 pieces per square metre) so they have enough space to form dense clumps that will over time completely cover the ground and suppress weeds.
During vegetation, regular watering is key, especially on hot summer days. This plant, originating from damp mountain meadows, poorly tolerates drought, to which it reacts by drooping its leaves. As for fertilizing, it is enough to work a full organic fertilizer or compost into the soil in the spring. Thanks to its resilience, it does not suffer from diseases or pests, so chemical protection is not needed. Knotweed grows politely in its place and does not spread by underground runners like some other species, so you don't have to worry about it crowding out the surrounding planting.
Care for the plant at the end of the season is minimal. Knotweed is fully frost-resistant down to -28 °C. Cut the entire clump with shears close to the ground early in the spring, in March or early April, before new leaves begin to sprout.
If you don't have a garden, you can also grow 'JS Caliente' knotweed in a larger window box or pot on the terrace. Given its height of around one metre, it is necessary to choose a sufficiently large and stable container so it doesn't tip over in the wind. When growing in a container, monitoring the watering is absolutely critical – the substrate in a pot dries out much faster than open ground. We recommend placing drainage at the bottom of the container and mixing hydrogel into the substrate for better water retention.

Times may vary depending on the season, climate, location, sowing and transplanting dates and possibly also the conditions in the greenhouse/greenhouse. We always recommend testing how the plant performs in your conditions. Please do not take this as a guarantee.
