Water: Originating from moist environments, mazus fauriei thrives with consistent hydration and prefers damp conditions. Despite being moderately drought-tolerant, it benefits from weekly watering to mimic its natural habitat. Outdoor growth is influenced by rainfall patterns, impacting its manual irrigation needs.

Pruning: Mazus fauriei features a low-growing, mat-forming habit. Prune in early to late spring by removing dead stems and thinning dense areas to enhance air circulation. Regularly cut back spent flowers to promote blooming. Proper pruning improves aeration, reduces disease risk, and enhances visual appeal.

Propagation: Propagation of mazus fauriei is achieved through cuttings by using a healthy stem section. After a clean, angled cut, dip the end in rooting hormone and plant in well-draining soil. Keep the soil moist and provide indirect light until roots establish for successful growth.
