Water: Field cottonrose thrives in open fields, preferring moderate moisture with consistent watering weekly to avoid waterlogging. It adapts well to fluctuating rain patterns, showing resilience in varying climates, making it suitable for outdoor landscapes.

Fertilize: Field cottonrose thrives with balanced nutrition fertilizers applied quarterly during growth stages to promote flowering. Apply high-nitrogen fertilizers monthly in active periods, carefully to avoid root burn. Adjust nutrient application seasonally, reducing frequency during dormancy, ensuring even distribution and avoiding leaf contact for optimal health.

Pruning: Pruning field cottonrose in early to late spring promotes healthier growth. Remove dead or weak stems and pinch back new growth for a bushier form. This practice enhances air circulation, reduces disease risks, and helps manage size while preventing leggy appearances. Consult experts for proper techniques.

Propagation: Field cottonrose propagates mainly via seed sowing. Use well-draining substrate and keep consistent moisture, avoiding waterlogging. Sow seeds shallowly for light exposure. Once true leaves appear, transplant seedlings carefully to avoid disturbing the roots.
