Water your Dianthus 'Sunflor Chocolate' once a week or when the top 2-3 inches (5-7 cm) of soil feels dry to the touch. Adjust the watering schedule for your plant depending on the environmental conditions, such as location, temperature, and light exposure. During hot summer months, it may need more frequent watering than in cooler climates or during winter months. Make sure you don’t allow the soil to become soggy or to dry out completely.

Pink (Dianthus 'Sunflor Chocolate') grows best in areas that receive full sunlight for around 8 hours per day. While this variety of Dianthus can still thrive in partial sunlight, allowing it to take in 8 hours of sunlight or more will help produce the best blooms. This plant generally does well in bright, indirect sunlight, but may need some shade during very hot days. When keeping in containers, make sure that your Dianthus is placed in a well-drained area that is exposed to plenty of sunlight.

Pruning should be done for the Dianthus 'Sunflor Chocolate' plant in late spring, when plants have begun to show new growth. This species can tolerate pruning and it is best to remove fading blooms and spent flowers to promote new ones. The stems should be cut back slightly, but leave some foliage for the plant to recover. Pruning should only remove about 1-third of the total stem length in order to maintain the delicate shape of the plant. Taking off too much can cause stress and reduce the flowering ability of the plant. It is also important to remove any diseased or damaged stems immediately in order to prevent spread to other plants.
