The Primrose 'Alejandra' plant should be watered regularly to keep the soil moist but not wet. During the growing season, it should be watered approximately once or twice a week. Water the soil until it is sufficiently damp, but not excessively soggy, and avoid wetting the foliage. During the winter months, when the plant is dormant, reduce the amount of watering to once a month or as needed. Make sure not to let the soil become overly dry, as this can cause stress to the plant.

Primrose (Primula 'Alejandra') is a delicate flowering species that loves plenty of sunlight each day. The best amount of sunlight to give this type of plant is around 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. It is important to note, however, that when temperatures become too hot, the plant should be moved to a shadier area until they cool off. Morning sunlight is best, but a few hours of afternoon sunlight is also beneficial. For best growth and flowering, this plant should be placed in a well-lit space, such as a south or east facing window. If direct sunlight is not available, primrose (Primula 'Alejandra') will still do well with bright, indirect light, such as a few hours of light coming through a sheer curtain. A balance of light and shade throughout the day is key to keeping the plant healthy.

Primrose 'Alejandra' should be pruned in late winter or early spring. Pruning should be limited to removal of dead or damaged stems. Pruning should be done gently and conservatively to maintain the natural form of the plant. Flowering stems, which bloom in late spring and early summer, should not be pruned until after flowering for the year. If deadheading is desired, it should be done lightly to prevent damaging new flower buds. Once the flowers have faded, spent stems can be trimmed back to encourage strong new growth. In addition, some excess stems can be pruned back to promote a fuller, healthier plant.
