watering

Bee's primroses should be watered fairly often, but allowing the soil to dry out slightly between each watering. Aim to water lightly but thoroughly every 3-4 days during the active growing season. During the dormant season in winter, reduce the frequency to once a month or less. Allow the soil to almost dry out between each irrigation. This species does not like soggy soil, so it's important to not over water them.

sunlight

Bee’s primrose (Primula beesiana) prefers bright, indirect sunlight. When grown indoors, it should be placed in a south-facing window, but should be kept out of direct sun to prevent wilting. During the summer months, this plant can benefit from some time in the direct sun, with exposure of about 4 to 6 hours daily. In winter, the sunlight should be reduced, with no more than 3 to 4 hours of direct sunlight.

pruning

Bee's primrose should be pruned at the start of the growing season in early spring before new growth begins. Light pruning is recommended throughout the growing season to help maintain the shape of the plant and encourage larger flower blooms. For more severe pruning, such as removing dead or diseased branches or controlling the overall size of the plant, pruning should be done when the plant is dormant, typically late fall or winter. When pruning Beee's primrose, only remove a few branches from the outer parts of the plant, taking care not to leave stubs, and avoid cutting off more than a third of the entire plant.
