Water: Case's lady's tresses prefers adequate moisture but can tolerate drought. Water weekly in summer and every 10 days in fall and winter. Maintain humidity by misting, especially in dry weather. Use neutral pH water; let tap or rainwater sit to release dissolved substances.
Fertilize: Case's lady's tresses requires minimal fertilization. Use a nitrogen-rich fertilizer (N-P-K = 30-10-10) every 10 days post-sprouting in spring, then switch to a balanced fertilizer (N-P-K = 20-20-20) in summer. A phosphorus-rich fertilizer can enhance blooming in fall.
Pruning: Case's lady's tresses requires minimal pruning, ideally in early spring. Remove dead foliage and spent spikes to promote growth and improve appearance. Avoid excessive cutting to maintain natural form. Regular maintenance enhances flowering and improves air circulation, reducing disease risk. Refer to horticultural guides for tailored care.
Propagation: Propagation of case's lady's tresses can be achieved through division or cuttings. For division, wait until after blooming, carefully separate root clusters, and keep them moist. For cuttings, select healthy stems, cut into 2-node pieces, and maintain a moist substrate for rooting in 2-3 months.
