watering
Hummingbird's trumpet (Zauschneria 'Orange Carpet') should be watered regularly in order to promote healthy growth. The soil should be kept lightly moist, but not soggy or waterlogged. Water when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil feels dry to the touch. Additionally, waterings should be done in the morning so that excess water can evaporate throughout the day, preventing the plant from sitting in water for extended periods of time. During the winter months, watering should be reduced, as the plant will slow its growth and require less water.
sunlight
Hummingbird's trumpet (Zauschneria 'Orange Carpet') should receive amount of sunlight that provides full sun exposure, which is roughly 6 to 8 hours a day. This plant species grows best when placed in a location that receives the full morning sunlight and afternoon shade. During the warmer months, it will appreciate the shade during the hottest part of the day to prevent wilting and scorching from the sun's rays.
pruning
Hummingbird's trumpet (Zauschneria 'Orange Carpet') should be pruned every year in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove up to 1-third of the longest canes right down to the ground when pruning. Cut back remaining canes to a height of about 8-10 inches. To give the plant the desired shape, remove any damaged, crossed, or dead canes. Pruning will encourage the formation of new growth and keep the plant concentrated in 1 area.
