Water: Viola albida thrives in humid, mountainous areas and is not drought-tolerant. Avoid excessive watering to prevent decay. In gardens, water based on weather conditions to prevent excessive soil dryness. For potted viola albida, water thoroughly when the soil surface is dry.

Fertilize: Use slow-release commercial compound fertilizers for viola albida. Apply thin compound liquid fertilizer every two weeks during growth and bloom periods. For detailed application methods, consult the product specifications of the fertilizers.

Pruning: Viola albida features delicate flowers and is hardy. Prune in early to late spring to enhance shape and promote blooming. Remove dead stems for new growth and thin dense areas for better air circulation. These practices improve aesthetic appeal and ensure robust health.
