Water: Gardener's garters originates from wetlands and riverbanks, thriving in moist environments with a need for regular hydration. Ideal watering is twice a week. Grown outdoors, it can spread vigorously with sufficient moisture but may become invasive in favorable conditions.
Pruning: Gardener's garters displays vibrant, variegated foliage. Pruning in early spring removes dead stems, promotes healthy growth, and maintains shape. Regularly pruning prevents overcrowding and encourages new growth. Use sharp, clean tools to avoid disease transmission.
Propagation: Gardener's garters features striking variegated foliage and is best propagated by division. Carefully lift the parent plant, divide the root mass into sections with several shoots, and promptly replant while keeping the soil moist for optimal root establishment, rejuvenating the parent and maintaining gardener's garters's vigor.
