Water: Dianthus hybrid is drought tolerant but not flood tolerant; avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot. Water only when the soil is dry to the touch. In winter, reduce watering to once every 3-4 weeks until growth resumes in spring.

Fertilize: To enhance dianthus hybrid's root system and foliage, apply a diluted organic water-soluble fertilizer every two weeks during non-winter months. Prior to flowering, an additional phosphorus and potassium fertilizer application can stimulate the production of more vibrant flowers.

Pruning: Regular deadheading of dianthus hybrid extends the flowering season by conserving nutrients for new blooms. Pruning after flowering promotes new growth, potentially resulting in a second bloom later in the season.

Propagation: Perennial varieties of dianthus hybrid can be easily divided for propagation. Additionally, dianthus hybrid may also be propagated through tip cuttings or layering, offering effective methods to expand your collection.
