watering
Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia congestiflora 'Eco Dark Satin') should be watered on a regular basis, about once a week, or when the soil is dry—but before it wilts. It thrives in moist soil, but be sure not to over-water as its roots can easily rot. Make sure the soil is well-draining and that the pot has holes in the bottom for additional drainage. In hot weather, it may require more frequent watering. If the foliage starts to look dull or droopy, try giving your plant a good soaking.
sunlight
Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia congestiflora 'Eco Dark Satin') should receive around 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Most of the sunlight should be provided in the morning or early evening, as direct sunlight during the peak hours of the day may be too intense for this plant. This plant prefers part to full shade in the warmest areas, so avoid positioning it in direct sunlight all day. For best results, provide bright, indirect light throughout the day.
pruning
Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia congestiflora 'Eco Dark Satin') should be pruned in early Spring. Prune off any dead stems from the previous season and remove any diseased or damaged leaves. Trim the plants back to keep them at their desired height and shape. Keep the plant in a compact shape by pruning in a gentle arc, leaving only the outward facing leaves to grow. For a more wild, natural look, lightly prune the stems back to varying lengths and shapes. This species will only need to be pruned a couple times throughout the season.
