Often grown outdoors, it thrives in full sun and poor soils. Its blooming cycle is influenced by water availability, leading to stunning displays in favorable conditions.

Fertilize: To care for yellow anacyclus, use a balanced fertilizer, switching to high-nitrogen during growth phases. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks, reducing frequency in dormancy. Always water yellow anacyclus before fertilizing to prevent root burn, ensuring effective nutrient absorption and promoting vigorous growth and blooms.
