Water sparingly once the soil has dried out. Helianthemum alpestre prefers well-drained conditions and is drought-tolerant once established. Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in cooler months.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushiness. Remove any dead or straggly stems.

Hard pruning is generally not recommended as it can be detrimental to the plant's health and flowering.

Propagation is best achieved through semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining compost mix in a propagator or cold frame.

Seed can also be sown in autumn or spring, but may not come true to type.

Repot young plants annually or biennially in spring. Mature plants generally do not require frequent repotting and prefer to be slightly pot-bound.

Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or alpine compost.
