watering
Water the dwarf Solomon's seal deeply once a week, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. During the summer months, check the soil daily to ensure it's not drying out too much. If the soil feels dry, water deeply until the water runs out of the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot. Reduce watering during the winter months, allowing the soil to dry out completely before the next watering.
sunlight
For optimal growth, Dwarf Solomon's seal (Polygonatum humile) should be planted in a spot with at least 4 or 5 hours of direct sunlight per day. Ideally, this plant species should get the majority of its sunlight in the morning and early afternoon with some shade during the hottest parts of the day. This will provide the plant with the right balance of light and warmth to promote healthy growth without scorching its delicate foliage. Additionally, it’s important to keep in mind that as the seasons change, the amount and angle of sunlight will vary. In the summer months, it’s important to provide more shade, while in the winter months, more sunlight can be beneficial.
pruning
Dwarf Solomon's Seal (Polygonatum humile) is an attractive deciduous perennial that can be a great addition to your garden. Pruning is an important step in keeping this plant healthy and full. Pruning should be done during the dormant season in late winter/early spring or in early summer after flowering. Remember, pruning too much or too late can damage the plant and negatively impact its health. When pruning Dwarf Solomon's Seal, you should cut back stems from the previous season to about 6–8 inches above soil level. This will encourage strong new growth and healthy blooms. Pruning should also be done selectively; be sure to remove any dead or diseased stems and trim back any stems that are overgrowing in tight spaces. Do not prune the main stem of this plant as it may cause permanent damage to the plant. To ensure that you remain careful in your pruning practices, always use sharp, clean pruning shears when working on a plant. This will help you make precise, accurate cuts that will not harm the plant and will help promote healthy growth.
