Water: Goodenia pilosa subsp. pilosa thrives in consistent moisture, favoring evenly moist soil and requiring weekly watering. Adapted to its native habitat's rainfall patterns, it balances hydration and drought resilience, making it ideal for outdoor cultivation in regions with predictable rain cycles.

Fertilize: Goodenia pilosa subsp. pilosa requires a balanced fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium during spring and summer, every 4-6 weeks. Water the soil before and after application to prevent root burn, and adjust frequency in fall and winter to avoid damage from over-fertilization.

Pruning: Goodenia pilosa subsp. pilosa features hairy stems and bright yellow flowers. Prune in early to late spring, removing dead or diseased wood and thinning crowded areas for better air circulation. Regular pruning maintains shape and prevents leggy growth. Use clean, sharp tools to reduce plant stress.

Propagation: For successful propagation of goodenia pilosa subsp. pilosa, use cuttings: select a healthy section, apply rooting hormone, and plant in well-draining soil. Maintain humidity and warmth to encourage root growth, which may be slow. Gradually acclimate rooted plants before transplanting to new conditions.
