watering

Primula 'Wanda Renae's Pearl' is a low-maintenance plant that should receive watering every 5 to 7 days. The soil should be kept moist, but not soggy. To ensure proper watering, check the soil with your finger for moisture before adding water. Water until it begins to run out of the bottom of the pot, then discard any excess. During the hottest months, you may need to water more frequently.

sunlight

Primula 'Wanda Renae's Pearl' requires a minimum of 4 hours of direct sunlight each day, preferably in the early morning. This species prefers to be in an area with part-sun/part-shade, so it is important to make sure that the plant does not receive too much intense direct sunlight during the day. Additionally, the plant should be exposed to some lightly filtered indirect sunlight during the day to keep it healthy.

pruning

Primula 'Wanda Renae's Pearl' should be pruned as soon as the flowering season is finished, usually late April or early May, to promote blossoming again. Light pruning may also be done to remove any damaged, diseased, or dead foliage throughout the season. Removal of blooms will also help promote new flowers. However, it is best to avoid large-scale pruning and limit it to tidying up the plant. Additionally, avoid pruning any low-growing buds and foliage, as this may damage new flowers that are set to bloom.
