watering

Dawson's Angelica (Angelica dawsonii) should be watered approximately once every 7-10 days, depending on the health of the plant and the climate. If the soil is dry 2 inches below the surface, it will need more frequent watering than if the soil is still moist. In hot, dry climates, the plant may need to be watered 2-3 times per week. During the spring and summer, when it is actively growing, it is important to keep the soil slightly moist. In the winter, when the plant is dormant, reduce the frequency of watering and allow the soil to dry out slightly between each watering.

sunlight

Dawson's Angelica (Angelica dawsonii) is a plant species that prefers partial to full sun. It needs 4-6 hours of direct sun per day and thrives best in bright, indirect light. In the summer, this plant should be placed in a bright spot to ensure it gets enough sunlight. It is important to avoid harsh direct sunlight or the leaves may become scorched. In the winter, the amount of sunlight can be reduced with at least 2-3 hours of direct sunlight per day being sufficient.

pruning

Dawson's Angelica (Angelica dawsonii) should be pruned at the start of spring (March/April). Prune back the stems that have died off or are damaged during the winter season. Pruning back the dead and damaged stems encourages new growth and helps to keep the overall shape and size of the plant. When pruning, only remove up to 1-third of the stems at a time. Removing any more could stress the plant and result in further damage. Pruning can help promote the inner growth of the plant, making it look fuller and natural.
