Water: Originating from rocky areas, fleshy-stem bellflower is drought-tolerant and requires weekly watering to avoid soil saturation. Primarily grown outdoors, fleshy-stem bellflower enters dormancy during water scarcity, lowering metabolic activities to conserve resources.

Fertilize: For fleshy-stem bellflower, use balanced fertilizers (10-10-10) during the growing season and high-phosphorus fertilizers for blooming. Apply every 4-6 weeks at about a teaspoon per gallon of soil. Water before and after application, and consider slow-release formulas to avoid root burn.

Pruning: Fleshy-stem bellflower, featuring fleshy stems and bell-shaped flowers, thrives with early spring to late winter pruning. Trim dead stems to foster growth and blooms while avoiding heavy cuts. Regular pruning maintains shape, prevents disease, and supports robust structure. Consult expert guides for tailored care techniques.

Propagation: Fleshy-stem bellflower propagates best by sowing seeds in well-draining, moist soil while avoiding waterlogging. Employ sterile potting mix to prevent diseases. Handle seedlings gently during transplanting for root establishment. After initial growth, moderate fertilization aids in development for optimal success rates.
