creeping saxifrage

Creeping saxifrage should be watered frequently, but not too much. It prefers a moist but not soggy soil. During summer when the plant is actively growing, aim to water the plant about 2 to 3 times a week. Less water is needed during winter and the plant should dry out almost completely before you water it again. This particular species is tolerant of some drought conditions, but it will not perform as well under such conditions. It is best to water in the early morning or late evening, so that the foliage has time to dry off and does not remain wet overnight. This helps to prevent disease issues. Avoid using a strong stream of water for watering, instead use a gentle shower or sprinkle and avoid getting the foliage wet.

Creeping saxifrage (Saxifraga stolonifera) grows best in bright, filtered sunlight for at least 4 to 6 hours each day. If grown in sunny, direct light, the plant should be given some shade during the highest heat of the day (usually between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm). In general, the more light this species gets, the more lush and healthy it will be.

Creeping saxifrage (Saxifraga stolonifera) should be pruned in early spring, or around late March or early April. This is the optimal time to prune as it allows the plant to recover and produce the desired abundance of blooms in mid-summer. To prune the creeping saxifrage, remove the old and thin stems, cutting them back to the base of the plant. This will help to maintain the healthy and vigorous growth of the plant. Pruning also helps to keep the creeping saxifrage from becoming too overgrown, and also encourages more blooming stems to form.
