Water:
Pasture heliotrope thrives in arid regions and is highly drought-tolerant. It requires weekly watering and is typically grown outdoors to benefit from natural rainfall, which supports its growth cycle as an evergreen herb.
Fertilize:
For optimal growth, pasture heliotrope needs balanced fertilizers (10-10-10) every 4-6 weeks during active growth. Use high nitrogen fertilizers in the vegetative stage, but reduce to quarter-strength during dormancy. Seasonal adjustments prevent over-fertilization, avoiding root burn, with diluted solutions for safety.
Pruning:
Pasture heliotrope thrives with pruning in early to late spring, enhancing new growth and preventing overcrowding. Trim dead stems and thin dense areas for better air circulation. Regular pruning supports shape, vigor, and reduces disease and pest risks, encouraging robust blooms in future seasons.
Propagation:
Pasture heliotrope thrives in arid climates and is propagated by sowing seeds in a well-draining substrate. Seeds need light soil coverage and gentle watering to prevent waterlogging. For optimal seedling health, ensure ample sunlight and thin out overcrowded plants.
