Globe flower (Trollius ledebourii) should be watered regularly in order to keep its soil consistently moist. Water the plant deeply, soaking the soil thoroughly until water starts to seep out the bottom of the pot. Allow the soil to dry a bit between waterings, roughly 1-3 inches deep. A good rule of thumb is to water the plant every 7-10 days.

Globe flower (Trollius ledebourii) is an alpine species and does best in full sunlight during the warmer months. The ideal amount of sunlight for this plant is 6 to 8 hours a day. During the summer months, it should receive direct sunlight during the morning, followed by dappled shade in the afternoon. During the winter months, the plant should receive indirect sunlight, such as sunlight that is filtered through a window or reflected off a nearby wall. Too much sunlight during the winter months can cause damage to the foliage.

Globe flower (Trollius ledebourii) should be pruned at the end of the spring season according to the USDA Plant Hardiness Zones. Generally, the plant should only be pruned to remove damaged or diseased stems or to keep it from becoming overly large and unmanageable. To keep your Globe Flower’s shape compact and neat, you can lightly prune it overall, but should take care to not prune too much at a time. It is recommended to take off no more than 1-third of the plant’s height. Lastly, avoid heavy pruning, as it can be damaging to the plant.
