Most medicinal plants prefer bright, indirect light. Some plants, like aloe vera, can tolerate low light conditions, while others, like St. John's wort, require full sun.

Most medicinal plants prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil pH should be slightly acidic to neutral.

Medicinal plants have different watering requirements, but as a general rule, they prefer to be kept moist but not waterlogged. It's important to water the plants thoroughly, allowing the soil to drain completely before watering again.

Most medicinal plants don't require a lot of fertilizer, but some, like ginseng, may benefit from regular feeding with a balanced fertilizer.

Medicinal plants can be susceptible to pests and diseases, just like any other plant. Regular inspection of the plants is important to catch any issues early. Insecticidal soap and neem oil are effective treatments for common pests like spider mites and aphids.

Regular pruning can help keep medicinal plants healthy and productive. It's important to remove any dead or diseased growth, as well as any growth that is crossing or rubbing against other branches.

Medicinal plants are usually harvested for their leaves, flowers, or roots. It's important to harvest the plants at the right time, when the medicinal compounds are at their peak. The harvested material should be dried quickly to prevent mould or other issues.
