watering
Christmas rose (Helleborus 'Walhelivor' IVORY PRINCE) should be watered once a week during the growing season, usually from late spring to late summer. In general, make sure the soil is moist but not overly saturated. To check, stick your finger 1 to 2 inches deep into the soil, and if it feels dry, it is time to water. Stop watering the plant once the fall season comes and the plant is semi-dormant. Make sure to keep the soil of the Christmas rose barely moist during the winter season.
sunlight
Christmas rose requires full sun to partial shade to thrive and bloom. During the spring and summer months, it should have 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. In the fall and winter, it should have indirect sunlight or light shade for 4 to 6 hours each day. For best results, it should be planted in an area that faces south or east for regular exposure to morning sun. During a period of more intense heat, Christmas rose should be watered in the morning or evening to ensure that it does not dry out.
pruning
When to Prune: Christmas rose (Helleborus 'Walhelivor' IVORY PRINCE) should be pruned in the spring after it begins to bloom, around mid or late April. How Much to Prune: Remove no more than a third of the foliage each year to maintain vigorous growth. Only prune away damaged, diseased, or dead foliage. Remove any flower stems along with any withered foliage.
