Water: Sorbaria is moderately drought-tolerant, thriving with a natural hydration cycle. It needs deep watering every three weeks and benefits from outdoor cultivation. Water requirements peak during spring and summer due to seasonal fluctuations, making it adaptable to various moisture levels.

Propagation: Propagation of sorbaria involves division, softwood, and root cuttings, requiring moisture, well-drained soil, and dappled sunlight. Best performed in late winter to early spring. Key steps include pre-watering, separating clumps, taking 6-8 inch cuttings, and ensuring consistent moisture and warmth for establishment.
