primrose

Water Primrose (Primula pubescens) every 10-14 days or when the soil has just started to dry out. Water thoroughly so that the entire root system is evenly moistened. Avoid saturating the root system which can lead to root rot. Reduce frequency of watering slightly in winter and hot summer days. In terms of how much water, the amount will vary depending on the size of your plant and the pot you are growing it in. Generally, you should be aiming for the equivalent of 1-1.5 inches of rainfall per week.

Primroses require plenty of sunlight and should be planted in an area where they can get 6-8 hours of sun each day. The best time of day to receive the sunlight is between 10 am and 4 pm, though this may vary depending on the time of the year. During the spring season, when days are shorter and nights are longer, primroses should receive full sun from early morning until midday. When the days grow longer and the sun is in the sky for most of the day, primroses can be moved to receive more shade and protection from intense midday heat. Primrose will especially benefit from morning sunlight right after the sun rises as this will give them enough energy to bloom healthily and consistently throughout the season.

Primrose (Primula pubescens) should be pruned once a year in early spring after flowering and before new growth appears. All dead or damaged stems should be removed at this time. The remaining stems can then be cut back by 1 third to 1 half. This will help to improve the plant’s structure and air circulation. If the primrose has grown too much, some of the oldest stems can be removed near the base. Doing this will rejuvenate the plant. However, care should be taken to remove no more than 1 third of the stems at a time.
