Water: Dwarf milkwort thrives in regions with regular rainfall, needing weekly watering to support optimal growth. As an evergreen herb, it requires consistent moisture even in colder months, contrasting with other plants that may become dormant.
Fertilize: For dwarf milkwort, use a balanced fertilizer monthly in spring and summer at half strength to enhance growth. In fall and winter, reduce to bi-monthly. Always water before fertilizing to avoid root burn and adjust frequency based on dwarf milkwort's health to prevent over-fertilization.
Pruning: Dwarf milkwort is a low-growing plant appreciated for its vibrant flowers. Prune in early to late spring, avoiding peak blooming. Remove dead stems and trim one-third to promote bushiness. Regular pruning prevents legginess. Use clean, sharp tools to reduce stress and disease risk.
Propagation: Dwarf milkwort can be propagated by surface sowing seeds in well-draining soil after the last frost. Keep the soil moist but not water-logged. Ensure ample light and warmth for slow germination. Transplant seedlings into individual pots for root development once they are large enough.
