Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Scaevola striata moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, as this species is sensitive to root rot.
Reduce watering in cooler months to mimic its natural drier periods.
Prune Scaevola striata lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove spent flowers and any leggy stems. This also helps prevent the plant from becoming woody.
Scaevola striata can be propagated by seeds sown in spring or by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium.
Seeds require stratification or warm conditions for germination.
Repot Scaevola striata every 2-3 years, or when root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excessive moisture retention.
