Water Desertbells moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in fall and winter, especially in cooler climates, to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions.

Pruning is generally not necessary for Desertbells. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage more blooms and maintain a tidier appearance. If the plant becomes leggy, light pruning can be done after flowering to shape it.

Propagate Desertbells from seeds sown directly outdoors in early spring or fall. Seeds germinate best with light exposure, so sow them thinly on the soil surface and press down lightly.

A cold stratification period can improve germination rates.

Repotting is typically not required as Desertbells are often grown as annuals or short-lived perennials. If grown in a container and roots become pot-bound, repot in spring to a slightly larger container with fresh, well-draining potting mix.
