1. Planting:  Plant in a place that receives 6-8 hours of sunlight a day and has well-draining soil. For optimal growth, you can amend it with peat moss or compost to enhance drainage and the soil’s overall quality.

If growing in a container, place in a well-lit area. Powder Puffs should only be repotted into larger containers once they have outgrown their current ones.

2. Watering:  When spring arrives and into the warmer months, you should begin providing your Pink Powder Puff with consistent weekly waterings.

Reduce the frequency of watering as the temperature drops in the fall. Once mature, powder puff plants are drought-resistant.

If you're wondering if your plant needs water, stick your finger about 2 inches down into the soil. If it's dry in that area, then it's time to water.

3. Fertilizing:  Apply a balanced granular or liquid fertilizer during the growing season when the weather begins to warm up in the spring. In the winter, fertilizer is not necessary.

4. Pruning:  If planting in a container, be sure to prune by trimming back and removing any dead growth.
