Water: Undulate speedwell flourishes in moist conditions, requiring consistent moisture without waterlogging. Water twice a week to maintain hydration. This herbaceous perennial thrives outdoors, benefiting from natural rainfall, and needs adequate watering during its active growth season for optimal performance.

Fertilize: Undulate speedwell requires minimal fertilizer; a small amount of water-soluble compound fertilizer (20-10-20) is recommended during growth. To encourage flowering, switch to a 10-30-20 ratio 10-15 days prior. Reduce fertilization in early fall, and avoid during recovery to prevent root injury.

Pruning: Undulate speedwell is a perennial herb with wavy leaves and blue flowers. Prune in early to late spring for growth, removing dead stems and maintaining shape. Regular pruning improves air circulation, while clean tools prevent infection. Limit heavy pruning to reduce stress for a healthy undulate speedwell.

Propagation: Undulate speedwell propagation works best through seed sowing, requiring superficial soil coverage for light access. Use well-draining media to prevent waterlogging, ensuring consistent moisture and warmth during germination. Post-germination, transplant seedlings to individual containers for healthy root development.
