watering
Golden Globe Loosestrife should be watered about once a week. The soil should be kept slightly moist, but never soggy. It is a good idea to monitor the soil moisture level to make sure it is neither too wet nor too dry. Dry soil can be re-hydrated by thoroughly soaking the pot. During hot weather or periods of extended sunshine, the soil should be watered every 5-7 days. Too much water can cause root rot, so it is important to make sure the soil is not over-saturated.
sunlight
Golden Globes Loosestrife (Lysimachia congestiflora) is a perennial plant that loves full sun. The plant should be placed in an area with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight every day. Although it can tolerate some shade, it needs at least 4-5 hours of direct sun in order to properly flower and grow. This should be during the morning and afternoon - avoiding the hottest part of the day when the sun is at its highest and brightest.This helps to prevent drying and burning of the plants foliage. Morning sun is particularly beneficial for this plant since it helps keep the soil moist for longer periods of time.
pruning
Golden globes loosestrife should be pruned in late summer, August or September. During the pruning process, you should remove all dead or damaged branches, as well as any branches that have become too invasive or overcrowded. To encourage healthy branching, you may also want to remove some of the tallest growth. Pruning should be done regularly throughout the season and should be aggressive enough to keep the plant within a desirable size. To ensure a consistent size and shape, it is important to prune the plant regularly and never remove more than 1-third of the live branch material at a time.
