Water moderately during the active growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during the dormant period in summer or winter, depending on the climate.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in poorly draining soils.

Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding if unwanted. Prune back the plant in late winter or early spring to remove any dead or damaged growth and to shape the plant.

Avoid heavy pruning after flowering has finished.

Easily grown from seed sown directly in the garden in early spring or autumn. Seeds benefit from stratification; mix them with moist sand and refrigerate for 4-6 weeks before sowing.

Seedlings transplant poorly, so direct sowing is preferred. Can also be propagated by division in spring.

Eschscholzia androuxii generally dislikes being disturbed once established. If repotting is necessary, do so in early spring before new growth begins. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.

Handle the root ball gently to minimize transplant shock.
