Grow Centella asiatica in humus-rich, reliably moist soil in partial shade, ideally in a bog garden or at a pond margin. Water freely so that the soil never dries out; it can tolerate standing water for short periods. It is frost tender, so in cold winter regions grow it in containers and overwinter in a greenhouse or on a bright windowsill. Apply a balanced liquid feed monthly during active growth. Restrict the creeping runners to prevent it from swamping smaller plants.
