How to care for your Lysimachia Firecracker
- Light: Prefers partial shade to full sun. If it’s planted in full sun, make sure it’s getting enough water to avoid drying out.
- Water: Likes moist soil, so make sure to water it regularly. Don’t let the soil dry out completely between watering.
- Soil: Prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. If your soil is heavy or clay-like, you may need to amend it with compost or other organic material to improve drainage.
- Fertiliser: You can fertilisse once a month during the growing season with a balanced fertiliser.
- Pruning: Prune back any dead or damaged leaves as soon as you notice them. You can also prune the plant back in early Spring to encourage bushier growth.
- Propagation: Can be propagated by division or stem cuttings. Divide the plant every few years to keep it healthy and prevent overcrowding.
