Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Pruning is generally not required for Fagerström's dandelion unless removing dead or damaged foliage. If the plant becomes leggy, you can trim it back to encourage bushier growth.
Deadheading spent flowers can prevent unwanted seed dispersal.
Fagerström's dandelion can be propagated by seed or division. Sow seeds in spring or autumn in well-draining soil. Divisions can be made in spring or autumn, carefully separating root clumps and replanting them promptly.
Repot Fagerström's dandelion every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and filled with fresh, well-draining potting mix.
Repot in spring before active growth begins.
