watering
Water your Small Flower Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja parviflora var. albida) once a week or every 5–7 days during the growing season. Water deeply to ensure that the water penetrates down through the topsoil. Avoid over-watering to prevent root rot and wilting. In the winter, you should reduce the amount of watering to every 10–14 days. Make sure to keep the soil evenly moist but not soaked.
sunlight
Small Flower Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja parviflora var. albida) requires full sun for at least 6-8 hours per day throughout the growing season. It thrives when exposed to the morning sun and protection from the afternoon sun. The plant should be provided with shade during the heat of the summer. It can also tolerate some light shade, but it needs plenty of direct sunlight to flower and remain healthy.
pruning
Prune Small Flower Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja parviflora var. albida) in late winter to early spring. Prune only spent blooms and to maintain shape. Only prune a maximum of 1-third of the foliage at a time. Doing so will ensure long-term health of the plant and allow it to produce healthy new growth in the spring.
