Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, especially during active growth. Reduce watering in late autumn and winter when the plant is dormant.

Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings in warmer months.

Prune Helleborus after flowering to remove faded blooms and any spent or damaged foliage. This tidies the plant and prevents it from putting energy into seed production. Cut stems back to just above ground level.

Avoid cutting back green foliage in winter.

Propagate by division in early autumn or spring. Carefully dig up the plant and divide the root ball into sections, ensuring each section has viable roots and at least one eye or bud.

Replant immediately into well-prepared soil.

Hellebores generally prefer to be left undisturbed and can become stressed by frequent repotting. If repotting is necessary, do so in early autumn or spring. Choose a slightly larger pot with excellent drainage.

Handle the root ball gently to minimize disturbance.
