watering

To properly water a Primula 'Juanita' plant, water to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water regularly, perhaps once or twice a week. In general, water when the soil feels dry to the touch. During the summer months, you may need to water more frequently. Additionally, if planted in a pot, check for water more regularly, as plants in pots dry out more quickly. Be sure to ensure adequate drainage and avoid waterlogging the soil.

sunlight

Primula 'Juanita' plants will do best in full sun to light shade while young, but should receive partial shade during hot afternoons. Generally, it is recommended that Primula 'Juanita' should receive roughly 4 to 6 hours of sunlight per day throughout the spring and summer months. During the fall and winter months, when the sun is lower in the sky, they can tolerate more direct sunlight, but it is still important to avoid long exposures of direct sun during the hottest parts of the day.

pruning

Primula 'Juanita' should be pruned at the end of the flowering season in early summer. This species should not be pruned heavily, as this can create weak, spindly growth. Instead, remove any dead, dying or withered foliage with clean, sharp pruners. Dead flower heads can also be pinched off to stimulate new growth and flowering. Additionally, any long, sprawling stems can be cut back to a point just above a set of leaves. This will encourage the formation of a bushy mound of foliage. Taking this approach will help to maintain Primula 'Juanita's attractive and neat growth habit.
