Littleflower Alumroot plants should be watered deeply and regularly, but keeping the soil evenly moist rather than drenched. Water weekly during the summer months and reduce watering to every other week during the cooler periods of the year. If surrounding soil is dry, water more often. The best way to water is to soak the soil then let it dry before watering again. Make sure to remove any standing water so the plant does not stay too wet.

Littleflower Alumroot requires at least 6 hours of full sunlight every day for ideal growth. Locate the plant in an area that will receive the amount of direct sunshine that it needs, preferably early in the morning. This will ensure the plants have the energy they need to sustain their daily activities. Avoid partial shade, since this can lead to an undesirable plant growth and seed production. Keep in mind that too much direct sunlight can cause the leaves to burn, so shade the plant during the hottest part of the day if need be.

Heuchera parviflora var. puberula (Littleflower Alumroot) should be pruned in the early spring season before new growth begins. This species does not require heavy pruning; all that is necessary is shortening the stems at the soil level by 1/3 or 1/2. Pruning helps to maintain a neat appearance and also encourages more flowering as the summer progresses. It is also important to remove any old or dead flower stems at the base of the plant to keep the foliage looking clean and inviting.
