Water Incarvillea sinensis 'Cheron Pink' plants deeply once every 7-10 days during the growing season. Allow the top inch or 2 of soil to dry between waterings to ensure your plant does not become overwatered. In the winter months, only water the plant every 3 to 4 weeks. Water the plant until the water flows freely from the drainage holes located either at the bottom of a pot or in the soil of a garden plant bed. Make sure the planter pot has a drainage system and is never left in standing water.

Incarvillea sinensis 'Cheron Pink' needs 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day in order to thrive. During the hottest times of the day, it may need slightly less, and during the winter months, depending on your climate, indirect sunlight can be used as a substitute. Keep in mind that in the summer months, even 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight can be too much for this plant species, so it may be necessary to give it some light shade during those times.

Incarvillea sinensis 'Cheron Pink' should be pruned in late winter or early spring, immediately prior to new growth. Pruning should be minimal and only consists of removing dead, diseased or damaged parts. To maintain a bushier shape, selectively prune stems long after flowering.
