Good drainage is crucial for Alpine Jagged Notchwort.
Pruning is generally minimal. Remove any dead, damaged, or weak stems as they appear to maintain plant health and shape. Light trimming can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth, but avoid drastic cuts.
Alpine Jagged Notchwort can be propagated through division of established clumps in spring. Carefully separate the root ball and replant sections.
Stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer can also be rooted in moist, well-draining medium.
Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, typically every 3-4 years.
Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the current one.
