Water pink Dianthus 'Pheasant's Eye' plant regularly, approximately 1-2 times weekly, to maintain moist soil. During summer months, water more frequently to keep soil consistently moist. In winter, water less often as the plant requires less moisture in the cooler months. To prevent root rot, avoid standing water in the pot. Furthermore, before watering, it is recommended to check the soil by sticking your finger in to make sure the soil is dry. When it does come to watering, soak the soil completely with lukewarm water. Overwatering can also fatally damage this species of plant.

Pink (Dianthus 'Pheasant's Eye') plants need direct sunlight for a minimum of 5 to 6 hours every day. The best time for sunlight exposure to the plant is between 9 am and 3 pm, allowing the plant to receive bright, direct sunlight that will keep it healthy and happy. Avoid direct sunlight during the mid-afternoon hours, as this may cause the foliage to become scorched. In the summer months, pink Dianthus 'Pheasant's Eye' may benefit from an additional hour or 2 of sun in the late afternoon.

When to Prune: Pink (Dianthus ‘Pheasant's Eye’) should be pruned shortly after the flower blooms for the summer season. This should give the plant enough time to produce some new blooms. How Much to Prune: Pink (Dianthus ‘Pheasant's Eye’) should not be over-pruned. It is best to snip off only the tips of the stems, leaving at least the top 2 sets of leaves intact. This should encourage the plant to produce more flowers.
