Water: The weigela 'Velda' requires approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch) of rain every 7 to 10 days. If not, water manually, especially in heatwaves, using a garden hose near the roots. Morning watering is preferred to allow for evaporation and to minimize disease risk.

Fertilize: Weigela 'Velda' benefits from occasional fertilizing with a slow-release N-P-K 19-8-10 formula. Combining this with iron and sulfur fertilizer promotes deep-green foliage. Apply fertilizers in late winter or early spring for optimal results.

Pruning: Prune weigela 'Velda' in early spring by cutting back one-third of the oldest stems to promote new growth and flowering. Remove dead or damaged branches, and trim overgrown shoots for shape. Regular pruning improves air circulation and reduces disease risk, fostering a healthier, vigorous plant.
