How to Care for the Plant
Sunlight
Virginia waterleaf prefers shady sites. This native perennial prefers shady to partly shady sites (but tolerates full sun)
Soil
Loamy soil rich in organic matter is the best
Container
Plants can be dug out but the relatively fragile green or reddish green stems break easily, leaving the extensive root system intact to regrow if not done carefully
