Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Arabis pterosperma moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, which this plant dislikes.
Prune Arabis pterosperma after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage a second bloom. Remove faded flower stems and any dead or damaged foliage.
Light trimming can help control its spread and promote denser growth.
Propagate Arabis pterosperma by stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining medium.
Division of established clumps in early spring or autumn is also an effective method for increasing plant numbers.
Repot Arabis pterosperma every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in early spring before new growth begins.
Ensure the new pot offers adequate space for root expansion.
