watering

Leopard plant (Ligularia 'The Rocket') should be watered consistently to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water the soil deeply and evenly once a week during the growing season, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. During periods of drought or extreme heat, the plant should be watered more frequently. During the winter, reduce watering to every other week or as needed. Avoid over-watering, as this can cause the plant to become unhealthy or die.

sunlight

For Leopard Plant (Ligularia 'The Rocket'), the best thing is to place it in an area of indirect sunlight, such as a spot near a window that receives filtered light in the morning and skylight during the late afternoon. Generally, the amount of sunlight the plant needs will depend on the environment it’s growing in, but as a general rule, it should get at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day. During the spring and summer months, when the days are longer and brighter, the plant may need more direct sunlight, but during the winter months, when the days are shorter and darker, it should not rely on the sun too much and too long.

pruning

Leopard Plant (Ligularia 'The Rocket') should be pruned once a year in the early spring, before the new growth appears. Pruning this plant should be done to remove any dead, damaged, or diseased growth, as well as to shape and maintain the desired size and form. Pruning should be done sparingly and selectively, as too much or improper pruning can cause damage to the plant. When pruning Leopard Plant, cuts should be made at an angle just above a node, or leaf axil. Make sure to wear gloves to protect your skin from the plant’s leaves, which can irritate skin and cause dermatitis.
