Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Tilesius Wormwood prefers well-draining soil and should be watered moderately, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Prune back in early spring to encourage bushier growth and remove any dead or damaged stems from the previous year. Deadheading spent flower stalks can prevent self-seeding if desired.
Regular pruning maintains a tidy appearance.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Root cuttings in moist, well-draining soil or a propagation mix. Alternatively, divide established clumps in early spring.
Ensure cuttings have at least one leaf node for optimal rooting.
Repot Tilesius Wormwood every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.
Repotting is best done in early spring before new growth begins.
