watering
Heuchera parviflora is a low-growing perennial that requires ample water, particularly during establishment. Water your littleflower alumroot deeply once every 7 to 10 days during the growing season. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Allow the leaves to wilt slightly before watering to ensure the plant is not getting too much. In hotter summer months, water more frequently. In the winter months, stop watering when temperatures drop below freezing. Do not allow the soil to become overly saturated as excess moisture may cause the roots to rot. Ensure good drainage to prevent this.
sunlight
Littleflower alumroot is a plant species that needs 4-6 hours of direct sunlight every day. The best time of day for sunlight is between the hours of 9am-3pm; however, this species may also benefit from early morning and late afternoon sunshine. Littleflower alumroot prefers partial sun to partial shade. Too much direct sunlight can lead to the leaves becoming scorched or wilted, so it is best to provide the plant with plenty of protection from direct sunlight during the peak hours of the day.
pruning
Littleflower alumroot (Heuchera parviflora) should be pruned once annually in late winter or early spring. The extent of pruning depends on the desired size and shape; in general, thinning out some of the stems and removing a few branches is beneficial. Pruning helps to maintain the shape and improve the air circulation in the plant, which helps prevent disease. Before pruning, cut off and remove any dead or diseased branches, then thin out the plant to promote a more dense, flowering form. Do not remove more than a third of stems at 1 time. Finally, shear the top of the plant to give it a more uniform silhouette.
