Water: Perkysue thrives in arid regions with minimal moisture, displaying high drought tolerance. It requires weekly watering to mimic native conditions. While it can grow indoors, perkysue is better suited for outdoor environments, benefiting from natural rain cycles and seasonal temperature variations.

Fertilize: Perkysue thrives with balanced nutrition fertilizers containing equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Apply in early spring and bi-monthly during the growing season, using 1 tablespoon per square foot. Water after application to prevent root burn, adjusting frequency as temperatures cool for dormancy.

Pruning: Perkysue is a drought-tolerant perennial with silver-green leaves and yellow flowers. Prune from early to late spring, removing dead stems and deadheading to encourage blooms. Regular pruning enhances air circulation, prevents disease, and maintains compact growth for a more attractive appearance.

Propagation: Perkysue is a resilient perennial featuring silvery leaves and bright yellow flowers. Propagation via cuttings is effective; use healthy stems and sterilized tools. Place cuttings in well-draining medium and maintain moisture. With sunlight and minimal disturbance, roots will develop, enabling easy expansion of the collection.
