It is most common to grow the Common cinquefoil indoors for any gardener that does not live in temperate and tropical regions. Those gardeners should consider the fact that soil in a container can dry out a bit faster than ground soil. Also, the presence of drying elements such as air conditioning units can cause your Common cinquefoil to need water on a more frequent basis as well. if you planted it outside. When that is the case, it’s likely you won’t need to water your Common cinquefoil very much at all. If you receive rainfall on a regular basis, that may be enough to keep your plant alive. Alternatively, those who grow this plant inside will need to water it more often, as allowing rainwater to soak the soil will not be an option.
