watering
Bidens ferulifolia requires moderate water and should be watered every 7-10 days. During periods of heat and drought, increase to every 5 days. When watering, it is important to moisten the soil thoroughly, allowing water to drain out the bottom of the pot. Make sure not to leave the plant sitting in excess water. During the winter months, water much less frequently, allowing the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out between watering. This will prevent root rot and ensure the health of your plant.
sunlight
Bidens ferulifolia (incl. hybrid cvs.) requires full-sun or partial sun exposure of up to 8 hours per day. They prefer bright, direct sun in the mornings and late afternoons and partial shade during the hottest parts of the day. This plant thrives best in areas that receive sunlight for most of the day, but can also tolerate a few hours of shade.
pruning
For Bidens ferulifolia (incl. hybrid cvs.), you should generally begin pruning in late winter/early spring when shoots begin to emerge. Pruning should be light to moderate in order to promote bushiness, keep an attractive shape, and prevent the plant from getting too tall. Be sure not to prune too much, however, as it can reduce flowering. Deadheading (removal of dead flowers) to reduce self-seeding is also recommended.
