Water: Golden-silver weed thrives in humid forest undergrowth, preferring evenly moist, well-draining soil. Watering weekly supports its lush foliage and vigorous growth, especially during the active season. Ideal for indoor cultivation, a suitable potting mix mimics its native loamy habitat, ensuring adequate hydration and root health.

Fertilize: Golden-silver weed requires bi-monthly fertilization with balanced nutrients during growth seasons, switching to high phosphorus types during blooms. Follow label dosages to prevent over-fertilization and adjust feeding in dormancy. Watering aids nutrient absorption, promoting golden-silver weed's vitality and visual appeal.

Pruning: Golden-silver weed features unique foliage and delicate flowers. Prune in early spring or late winter to shape and remove damaged growth while prioritizing air circulation. Avoid excessive cutting; timely pruning encourages healthy growth. Regular inspections for pests and diseases improve vitality and ornamental appeal.

Propagation: Golden-silver weed grows best when seeds are sown in well-draining soil and kept consistently moist, avoiding waterlogging. Optimal light conditions boost germination, and careful repotting enhances root development for thriving plants.
