Water: Speedwells 'Lowten' requires watering every 3-4 days, keeping soil moist during growth, recovery, and flowering. Increase watering frequency in vigorous growth and ensure moisture during full bloom. In winter, reduce water, avoiding overwatering. Prune and water thoroughly in early spring to promote new growth.

Fertilize: Speedwells 'Lowten' requires minimal fertilizer. During growth, use a water-soluble fertilizer with a 20-10-20 ratio. To enhance flowering, switch to a 10-30-20 formula 10-15 days prior. Reduce fertilization in early fall and refrain during recovery to avoid damaging the root system.

Pruning: Speedwells 'Lowten' are evergreen perennials featuring small blue flowers. Prune in early spring to remove dead stems and again post-flowering to promote growth and shape. Regular pruning enhances air circulation, reducing disease risk. Always utilize clean, sharp tools to ensure plant health.

Propagation: Speedwells 'Lowten' propagates through division, sowing, and cuttage. Division is best in mid-spring; using 2- to 3-year-old plants is ideal. Cuttage occurs in late spring or summer, using a fresh shoot in cultivatable soil. Ensure the soil remains moist until roots establish.
