Dusty Miller prefers well-draining soil and is drought-tolerant once established. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, especially in cooler months, to prevent root rot.

Allow the soil to dry out between waterings for optimal health.

Prune annually in early spring to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. Pinch back young plants to promote a compact habit.

Regular pruning maintains its attractive silvery appearance and prevents it from becoming woody.

Dusty Miller is easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and insert into a well-draining potting mix.

Keep moist and warm until roots form, usually within a few weeks. Seed propagation is also possible but less common.

Repot Dusty Miller every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one, with ample drainage holes.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Repot in spring before active growth begins.
