Water
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, which this species dislikes.

Minimal pruning is usually required. Remove any dead or unsightly foliage as needed to maintain a tidy appearance. If the plant becomes leggy, it can be trimmed back slightly to encourage bushier growth.
Propagate by division of established clumps in spring. Carefully separate the rhizomes or root structures. Plant divisions in well-draining soil and water lightly until new growth appears.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Use a well-draining potting mix. Spring is the ideal time for repotting to allow the plant to establish before the heat of summer.
