watering

Solomon's seal (Polygonatum 'Prince Charming') should be watered on a regular basis, typically every 4 to 6 days. The soil should be kept evenly moist, but not waterlogged. During the hottest summer months, the plant may require more frequent watering. To check if the plant needs water, stick your finger 1-2 inches into the soil and if it feels dry, it’s time to water it. During the winter, allow the soil to dry out between waterings.

sunlight

Solomon's seal (Polygonatum 'Prince Charming') is a shade loving plant that prefers bright, indirect sunlight. This species should receive morning sun for approximately 3-4 hours each day, or dappled light throughout the day. Avoid exposing it to direct, hot sunlight as this can damage the foliage. With the right amount of sunlight, this plant species will produce vibrant, abundant blooms during the growing season.

pruning

Solomon's seal (Polygonatum 'Prince Charming') should be pruned in late winter or early spring. Cut back the stems to just above the ground or the highest visible node (where the leaves attach). This will encourage the plant to produce more stems and flowers. Additionally, thin out any dead leaves or foliage. Pruning can be done as often as necessary to maintain the desired shape.
