Care and Watering
Acanthus spinosus loves rich, well-drained soil. Water regularly in dry summers, keep the topsoil slightly dry between soakings, and avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
Maintenance
Remove spent flowers and old stems to keep the plant tidy and encourage dense foliage; divide clumps every 3–4 years to control spread.
Location
Plant in full sun to light shade with ample space; it tolerates heat but may scorch in intense sun—offer some afternoon shade in hot regions.
Tips
Mulch to conserve moisture, stake tall spikes if needed, and feed with compost annually to maintain vigor.
