Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Dandelions generally prefer consistently moist soil, especially during active growth.
Reduce watering slightly in cooler months.

Pruning is typically not necessary for Taraxacum lacerifolium unless you wish to manage its spread or remove spent flower stalks to prevent seed dispersal. Deadheading can be done to maintain a tidy appearance.
Minimal intervention is usually best.
Taraxacum lacerifolium is easily propagated by seed sown directly into the ground in early spring or late autumn. Alternatively, division of established root crowns in early spring is an effective method for asexual propagation.
Repotting is rarely needed for this species, as it is often grown in situ or in containers where its vigorous root system is managed. If container-grown and root-bound, repot into a larger container in early spring before active growth begins.
