watering
Verbascum 'Caribbean Crush' should be watered about once a week in spring and summer and every 2 weeks in fall and winter. Water the soil deeply until water runs out of the bottom of the pot. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, but avoid letting it dry out too much. Make sure that the soil isn't too wet. It's best to water in the morning so the foliage has time to dry off before nightfall. During hot weather, you may need to water every 3 to 4 days to keep the plant hydrated.
sunlight
Verbascum 'Caribbean Crush' should be planted in an area that gets plenty of direct sunlight. This variety of verbascum thrives in full, direct sunlight for 6 or more hours per day. If this is not possible, it should receive at least 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight each day. Remember to avoid positioning the verbascum in areas that become overly hot with midday sun, as this can cause foliage to scorch or brown. If bright light cannot be provided, the verbascum should be grown under grow lights.
pruning
Verbascum 'Caribbean Crush' should be pruned twice a year, in early spring and in late summer. Pruning in the early spring should only involve the removal of any dead or damaged foliage. Pruning in the late summer should involve cutting back the plant to keep its bushy habit and avoid any unchecked growth. It is important to remember not to prune more than a third of the plant at 1 time.
