Japanese pearlwort thrives in moist environments and requires consistent hydration, preferring evenly moist soil. Watering weekly is optimal, as it tolerates brief dry spells but flourishes with regular moisture. As an evergreen, japanese pearlwort retains water to maintain vibrant green foliage year-round.

For japanese pearlwort, use balanced nutrition fertilizers monthly during growing seasons, with high-nitrogen options in spring. Apply sparingly to avoid over-fertilizing. Dilute fertilizer to half-strength and water japanese pearlwort afterward to enhance nutrient absorption. Reduce feeding in winter as growth slows.
