Pink (Dianthus plumarius 'Itsaul White') should be watered once every 7-10 days, depending on the weather, and should receive roughly 1 inch of water each time. When watering your Pink, make sure to water the soil around the plant to a depth of at least 6 inches. Avoid wetting the leaves and flowers, which can lead to fungal issues. During hot summer months, you may need to increase watering frequency slightly. In periods of excessive heat, misting the leaves can be beneficial.

Pink (Dianthus plumarius 'Itsaul White') plants require full sun exposure for a minimum of 6 to 9 hours per day. This direct sunlight helps them to grow to their fullest potential and creates the most beautiful flower displays. They can also tolerate a bit of light shade for the remaining part of the day but they may not produce as many or as vibrant blooms. Pink plants also prefer cooler climates and should not be placed in direct, hot sun during the highest heat of the day. For the best growth results, pick a spot that gets plenty of morning sun and light afternoon shade.

For proper growth and flowering of Dianthus plumarius 'Itsaul White', pruning should be done at least once a year. This should take place in mid to late spring as the temperatures increase and the risk of frost diminishes. When pruning, it is important to remove any dead and diseased stems, as well as any old flowers. This will help promote new growth and flowering, as well as improve air circulation and reduce the chances of disease invading the plant. Additionally, all parts of the plant should be trimmed back to a minimum of 5 cm, in order to keep the shape of the plant. It is also important to prune any young stems that are competing with older ones, as this will help ensure the healthiest possible growth.
