Water: Viola bubanii thrives in consistently moist soil but can endure short dry periods. It needs weekly watering without waterlogging. As an outdoor plant in temperate regions, mulching aids in moisture retention and temperature protection.

Fertilize: Use slow-release commercial compound fertilizers for viola bubanii. During growth and bloom, apply thin compound liquid fertilizer biweekly. Refer to product specifications for specific application methods.

Pruning: Viola bubanii thrives with strategic pruning from early to late spring during active growth. Key techniques involve removing damaged stems, improving air circulation, and shaping for aesthetics. Clean, sharp tools are crucial to prevent disease and promote vigorous growth and enhanced flower production.

Propagation: Viola bubanii propagates best through cuttings of healthy, non-flowering shoots. Cut just below a leaf node, using shoot tips for better rooting. While rooting hormone can improve success, it's optional. Place cuttings in well-draining medium, maintain moisture without waterlogging, and provide indirect light for optimal growth.

Repotting: Viola bubanii, a compact herbaceous perennial, benefits from repotting every 2-3 years in early spring. Use a slightly larger pot with good drainage. After repotting, position viola bubanii in bright, indirect light and keep soil moist to support healthy growth and vibrant foliage.
