watering

For an Evolvulus nuttallianus plant, it is best to water approximately once every 2 weeks is suitable; however, the frequency may need to vary depending on the climate and other environmental factors. When watering, thoroughly soak the soil until water begins to drain from the bottom of the pot; allow it to drain completely before watering again.

sunlight

Evolvulus nuttallianus is a species of plant that loves the sun! It thrives in direct sunlight for 6-8 hours a day to ensure that its leaves and flowers can absorb the life-sustaining rays and produce oxygen-rich air. In cooler climates, this species of plant does not require full sun exposure for as many hours, but it should still be exposed to at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight. To ensure that your Evolvulus is thriving, it is important to keep track of the hours of direct sunlight your plant is exposed to daily.

pruning

Evolvulus nuttallianus should be pruned early in the season before they start to bloom. To keep the plant looking its best and promote new growth, remove spent flowers and blooms as their color starts to fade. Depending on the size of the plant, you may only need to prune lightly once every year or 2. Generally, it is recommended to remove approximately 1-third of the total size of the plant. If left unpruned, the plant will become woody and overgrown.
