watering
Kalimeris incisa 'Edo Murasaki' should be watered regularly and deeply, usually about once a week. The best time to water is early in the morning, before the sun has had a chance to warm and dry out the soil. Once the top few inches of soil feel dry to the touch, it's time to water. It is important to remember to water the soil and not the leaves of this plant as this can lead to disease and the death of the plant. Additionally, avoid overwatering as this can be just as detrimental to the health of this plant species.
sunlight
The Kalimeris incisa 'Edo Murasaki' plant species prefers mostly full sunlight, with 4-6 hours of direct sunlight and 10-12 hours of indirect sunlight. It grows best in well-drained, fertile soil and should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. This plant species does best when grown in temperatures ranging from 50 to 95°F.
pruning
Kalimeris, or Edo Murasaki, should be lightly pruned twice each season. In the spring, prune out any dead or damaged stems and lightly cut back the remaining healthy stems for shape and size. In the late summer, after flowering is complete, prune again to remove faded flowers and promote a fresh flush of blooms in the following spring. Always use clean, sharp pruning tools and make sure to remove all diseased or damaged stems completely.
