Water Erysimum X regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, especially during cooler months.
Reduce watering frequency in winter.
Prune Erysimum X after flowering to encourage bushier growth and more blooms. Remove dead or spent flower stalks and any leggy stems. Light pruning can be done anytime to maintain shape and size.
Heavy pruning is best done in early spring.
Erysimum X can be propagated from softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Insert cuttings into a well-draining potting mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment until roots form.
Seeds can also be sown in autumn or early spring.
Repot Erysimum X every 1-2 years, preferably in early spring before new growth begins. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has adequate drainage holes.
Use a well-draining potting compost.
