Water: Pale ivy-leaved speedwell should be watered every 3 to 4 days, with moist soil during growth and flowering. In winter, water less and avoid overwatering. After winter, prune yellowed parts and thoroughly water to encourage growth in spring.

Fertilize: Pale ivy-leaved speedwell requires minimal fertilization, using a water-soluble compound with a 20-10-20 ratio in growth, and 10-30-20 before flowering, 10-15 days prior. Reduce fertilizer in early fall and avoid during recovery periods to prevent root injury or slowed growth.

Pruning: Pale ivy-leaved speedwell has ivy-like leaves and pale blue flowers. Prune from early to late spring to encourage growth, remove spent blooms, and maintain air circulation. Regular pruning promotes bushiness, vibrant blooms, and manages its spread while keeping the plant tidy and healthy.

Propagation: Pale ivy-leaved speedwell propagates via division, sowing, and cutting. Division is best in mid-spring, using 2- to 3-year-old plants; soak cuts in diluted carbendazim for disinfection. For cutting, take shoots in late spring or summer, keep moist, and transplant when rooted.
