watering
The leopard plant or Ligularia przewalskii should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. During its growing season in spring and summer, water the plant thoroughly and frequently. Make sure it is never allowed to dry out completely as this can cause leaf discoloration. In winter, when growth has slowed down, reduce the amount of water you give it, allowing the soil to dry out more before watering. For this species, too little water is better than too much.
sunlight
Leopard plant (Ligularia przewalskii) should receive at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day, preferably morning sunlight. If grown indoors, a plant light should provide additional light during the dark winter months. During the summer, leopard plants should be moved to a shadier location where they can receive a few hours of morning sunlight. This plant is very sensitive to too much sunlight and can sunburn and burn its leaves.
pruning
The leopard plant (Ligularia przewalskii) should be pruned in early spring, right after the flowering process has subsided. Prune only the stems that have finished flowering to encourage new growth. Lightly prune back any stems that show signs of dieback or damaged leaves. Remove dead or damaged foliage to keep your leopard plant looking its best. Prune the leopard plant lightly, taking care not to take more than 1-third of any given stem when pruning.
