Water: Lysimachia capillipes prefers consistently moist soil, requiring weekly watering to maintain ideal hydration. While it can endure brief dryness, avoiding waterlogging is crucial. Grown mainly outdoors, understanding its irrigation needs across varying rainfall patterns during growth cycles is essential for optimal care.

Fertilize: Lysimachia capillipes requires balanced nutrition fertilizers for optimal growth. Apply a dilute solution every 4 weeks in spring and summer, then every 6-8 weeks in fall and winter. Caution against over-fertilization is advised, adjusting amounts based on size and container volume.

Pruning: Pruning lysimachia capillipes in early to late spring encourages bushier growth and removes dead stems. Trim up to one-third of the plant for shape and air circulation. Regular pruning enhances health and vigor, using clean, sharp tools to prevent disease.

Propagation: Lysimachia capillipes propagates through seed sowing. Use fresh seeds from a healthy parent plant, pressing them into moist, well-draining soil in a cool, dappled sunlight area. Maintain consistent watering to avoid rot. Gradually acclimatize seedlings before transferring them to their permanent garden location.
