Water Cheddar Pinks thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage.

Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.

Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. After flowering, prune back faded flower stems to prevent seed formation and to promote a denser habit.

Light pruning in early spring can also help shape the plant.

Cheddar Pinks can be propagated by division in spring or autumn, or from semi-ripe cuttings taken in summer. Cuttings can be rooted in a well-draining potting mix.

Division involves carefully separating clumps of established plants with roots attached.

Repot Cheddar Pinks every 2-3 years, or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a mix for alpine plants or a standard potting mix with added grit. Repot in spring before new growth begins.
