Water: Frying pans prefers consistent, moderate watering, reflecting its adaptation to regions with moderate moisture. Weekly watering prevents soil oversaturation. Thriving in well-draining soil, frying pans is suitable for outdoor cultivation and xeriscaping due to its drought tolerance and need for regular hydration.

Fertilize: For frying pans, use balanced or high-nitrogen fertilizers quarterly to enhance health, vigor, and flowering. Avoid over-fertilization, especially during active growth. Wear gloves, distribute evenly around the base, and integrate into the soil. Adjust practices with seasonal changes, following manufacturer guidelines for best results.

Pruning: Frying pans is a low-growing annual wildflower with bright yellow, cup-shaped flowers. Prune in early to late spring to promote denser growth, deadhead to extend blooming, and remove damaged leaves for healthy growth. Minimal pruning enhances vigor and prolongs the blooming season.

Propagation: Frying pans is propagated by sowing seeds in well-draining soil with full sun exposure for optimal germination. Direct sowing yields better results than transplanting. Regular watering during dry spells supports seedling development. Sufficient spacing between seeds is crucial to prevent overcrowding and ensure healthy growth.
