Care Guide for Hoary caper

Twice per week
Water
Full sun
Sunlight
Water: Native to arid regions, hoary caper thrives with minimal moisture and exceptional drought tolerance. It requires infrequent watering, ideally twice a week, and prefers well-draining soil in full sun to prevent waterlogging, thus supporting its growth cycle effectively.
Pruning: Hoary caper features silvery foliage and vibrant flowers. Early spring pruning is essential for removing dead branches, shaping, and promoting airflow. This process encourages new growth and prevents legginess. Avoid heavy pruning post-spring to minimize plant stress.
Propagation: Hoary caper thrives in well-draining soil and requires sunlight. Propagate using healthy, semi-hardwood cuttings with several nodes, treated with rooting hormone. Maintain consistent moisture and warmth for root development. Once established, hoary caper needs minimal care, with occasional watering and fertilization for optimal growth.
