Based on the appearance of the large leaf, this plant might be a type of burdock. If so, burdock prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-draining soil. It is very tolerant of various soil types, including poor soil. Little active care is needed once established, as it can be quite vigorous and even invasive. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases if grown in humid conditions.
