Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the seedling stage. Water when the top centimeter of soil feels dry to the touch.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler months but avoid letting the soil completely dry out. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.

Pruning is typically not necessary for Arabidopsis thaliana. If plants become leggy or overgrown, you can lightly trim them back to encourage bushier growth.

This is usually done to manage plants in a laboratory setting or to prevent overcrowding in a small experimental plot.

Arabidopsis thaliana is easily propagated by seeds. Seeds can be sown directly onto the surface of moist, well-draining soil and lightly covered.

Germination is rapid, often occurring within a few days under optimal conditions. Seeds can also be surface sterilized for sterile culture.

Repotting is generally not a concern for Arabidopsis thaliana, as it is often grown as an annual or for short-term experiments. If plants are grown in small pots for extended periods, they may benefit from repotting into slightly larger containers once they become root-bound, but this is rarely needed.
