catchfly

Catchfly (Lychnis arkwrightii 'Orange Zwerg' ORANGE DWARF) should be watered regularly in small amounts. Watering frequency should be adjusted according to the environment and soil type. In general, the plant should be watered every 2-3 days, or when the soil is dry to the touch. Always make sure that the soil has had adequate time to drain, and avoid leaving the plant sitting in excess water. Additionally, the soil should be kept moist but not overly saturated. A good rule of thumb is to water the soil until it is evenly damp throughout, with no clumps of wet soil. Over-watering should be avoided in order to prevent root rot.

Catchfly (Lychnis arkwrightii 'Orange Zwerg' Orange Dwarf) should be grown in a location that gets full sun for at least 6 to 8 hours a day. If the plant is grown in a pot, it should be moved outdoors in the summer where it will receive more light than it would in a windowsill. Growth and flowering of the catchfly could be inhibited if insufficient light is provided. During the winter months, especially in colder regions, the catchfly should be brought indoors to prevent frost damage. In winter, the plant can be exposed to artificial light or placed in an area near a south-facing window that will allow it to receive plenty of natural light.

Catchfly (Lychnis arkwrightii ‘Orange Zwerg’ ORANGE DWARF) should be pruned at the end of the winter season. This should be done when the plant is just starting to sprout new growth. Pruning should be done lightly in order to remove dead, withered or damaged branches and stems. Pruning should be done back to a healthy growth point, taking away no more than a third of the plant's total growth. Reshape the plant as needed and remove any weak, thin stems. After pruning, fertilise the soil to promote healthy new growth.
