For Phlox PAPARAZZI MIX, it's best to water when the soil is dry to the touch. Water until the soil is fully moistened but not water-logged, once a week. The frequency of watering may need to be adjusted depending on the temperature and humidity in your environment. You may need to water more often during periods of high temperatures and low humidity.

Phlox PAPARAZZI MIX, a perennial plant species, thrives best when grown in full sun. This means it needs at least 6 hours of direct, unobstructed sunlight every day in order to thrive. When planting, make sure that Phlox PAPARAZZI MIX is placed in an area that receives plenty of sun, preferably during the cooler parts of the day (between 10am - 4pm), as long, hot afternoons can lead to burnt petals on the flowers. To ensure a healthy and lavish bloom season, make sure to provide your Phlox PAPARAZZI MIX with consistent sunlight during the summer months.

Generally speaking, phlox species should be pruned in early spring or late summer. This helps to ensure that the shrub maintains its shape and encourages prolific blooming for the season. In particular, for phlox species such as the Phlox PAPARAZZI MIX, pruning should be done when the stems are about 8 inches tall. At this height, the plant should be cut back by about 1 third of its height. The remaining stem will then produce more foliage and flowers during the summer months. Pruning should be done using sharp pruning shears, removing all dead, diseased, or damaged stems. In addition, the pruned stems should be removed from the plant and discarded so they do not become a source for potential diseases or pests. It is also important to mulch afterwards to help protect the roots and increase their chances of survival.
