Water: A newly-planted astilbe hybrid requires weekly manual watering until a strong root system establishes. It thrives in moist soil; dry conditions can cause leaf margins to dry and scorch. Regularly monitor soil moisture, especially in hot summers or sunny locations.

Fertilize: To encourage flowering, astilbe hybrid requires phosphorous from a slow-release 5-10-5 or 10-10-10 fertilizer, added pre- or during planting and yearly in early spring. For container plants, apply soluble fertilizer biweekly. Always apply to damp soil and avoid contact with leaves to prevent burns.

Pruning: Astilbe hybrid is a hardy perennial displaying feathery plumes and vibrant colors. Prune spent flowers and dead foliage in early spring to encourage growth, and thin crowded shoots for better air circulation. Correct care ensures astilbe hybrid remains lush and floriferous, following reputable sources for specific guidance.

Propagation: Astilbe hybrid propagates well through division, involving the separation of mature clumps into smaller sections with adequate roots and shoots. Immediate planting in moist, well-drained soil aids growth, and performing division during cooler times minimizes stress on the plant.
