watering
Stylophorum lasiocarpum requires frequent and consistent watering. Water your plant deeply once or twice each week during the growing season. During the hottest months, increase the frequency of waterings to ensure your plant has enough water. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce the frequency of waterings in the winter to give your plant a rest. Make sure the soil never dries out completely and doesnât become oversaturated with water.
sunlight
Stylophorum lasiocarpum, commonly known as celandine poppy, prefers sunny locations with partial shade during the afternoon. It depends on 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day to grow to its best potential. Morning sun is especially beneficial and provides adequate light for good leaf and flower production. Avoid full afternoon sun as this can cause leaf scorch and wilting.
pruning
Stylophorum lasiocarpum should be pruned twice a year. Prune in early spring (March) and again in mid-summer (July). Prune away any dead or damaged branches and cut back any branches that are crowding the center of the plant to allow for better air circulation. Also prune any branches that are growing too tall or out of bounds. When pruning, remove only 1-third of the growth of the plant in order to keep its natural shape.
