Water Antirrhinum microphyllum regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings, especially during cooler months.
Prune Antirrhinum microphyllum after flowering to encourage a bushier habit and potentially a second bloom. Remove spent flower stalks just above a leaf node.
Light deadheading throughout the season also promotes continuous flowering.
Antirrhinum microphyllum can be propagated from seeds sown in early spring indoors or directly outdoors after the last frost. Cuttings can also be taken in late spring or early summer and rooted in moist potting mix.
Repot Antirrhinum microphyllum when it becomes root-bound, typically every 1-2 years. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and use a well-draining potting mix.
Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.
