watering
Hellebore plants should be watered about once per month during the growing season (April - October), taking care not to overwater. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. During the winter months, water lightly only when the soil feels dry to the touch. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every other month during the growing season.
sunlight
Hellebore (Helleborus hybridus 'Pink Lady') requires partial to full shade in order to thrive and flourish. An ideal location for this plant species would provide it with direct sunlight for 2 to 4 hours each day, with indirect sunlight the rest of the day. Avoid exposing this plant to direct sunlight during the hottest parts of the day when UV rays are most intense. Direct midday sun will cause the foliage to scorch and may also stunt its growth.
pruning
Hellebore (Helleborus hybridus 'Pink Lady') plants should be pruned annually in late spring or early summer, after flowering has finished. First, remove any stem or foliage that appears diseased, damaged, or dead. Then, prune off any stems that are significantly longer than the others or are reaching into other plants. Prune back branches that are overly congested or are crossing over each other. Finally, prune to reduce the overall size if necessary. Keep an eye out for any developing seedpods, as these should be removed to encourage re-flowering.
