Water: Miquel's mazus prefers consistently moist soil and high humidity, flourishing in conditions that mimic its natural habitat. It requires weekly watering and is typically grown outdoors to benefit from rainfall during its active growing season.

Fertilize: Fertilize miquel's mazus bi-weekly during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer, using a half-strength solution to avoid over-fertilization. Monthly during dormancy is sufficient. Water soil before fertilizing and adjust application based on miquel's mazus's response for optimal growth and flowering performance.

Pruning: Miquel's mazus is a low-growing perennial known for its vibrant flowers and trailing stems. Prune regularly from early to late spring to promote dense growth, remove dead material, and ensure vigorous flowering. This practice encourages healthy development and enhances the plant's overall vitality and appearance.

Propagation: Miquel's mazus propagation through cuttings requires healthy stems with leaves, planted in well-draining soil and kept moist. Indirect sunlight aids root development. Use of rooting hormone is beneficial but not necessary. Proper handling preserves the mother plant's characteristics in new growth.

Repotting: Repot miquel's mazus every 2-3 years in early spring to enhance growth. Use a shallow, wide pot to support its spreading nature. After repotting, water moderately and keep it out of direct sunlight for a week to facilitate a smooth transition and healthy development.
