watering
Water Tiarella 'Lacquer Leaf' regularly and frequently to keep the soil evenly moist. Water in the early morning and aim to avoid letting the soil dry out completely. Dampen the soil with a garden hose or watering can. Give the Foam Flower 1-1.5 inches of water at a time. Be sure to avoid getting water on the plant foliage. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings and reduce watering frequency if rainfall is sufficient. In the winter, water less frequently to avoid root rot.
sunlight
Foam flower (Tiarella 'Lacquer Leaf') prefers bright indirect light and does best in partial shade or beneath high tree canopies. It can tolerate short periods of direct sunlight but should be sheltered from the scorching afternoon sun. In general, provide 4-6 hours of light each day. Avoid any areas with deep shade as this will likely lead to leggy growth.
pruning
Foam flower (Tiarella 'Lacquer Leaf') should be pruned in late winter or early spring, just before new growth occurs. Pruning should be done judiciously, and only light pruning is necessary. The primary purpose of pruning should be to remove any dead or damaged stems, as well as to encourage strong and upright growth. No more than 1/3 of the plant should be pruned at 1 time to ensure that the plant isn't weakened. After pruning, it's essential to keep the area around the plant weed-free and fertilize it regularly.
