Care Guide
Care Guide
- Sunlight: Dusty Miller thrives in full sun to partial shade, and too much shade can cause the plant to become leggy.
- Watering: The plant is drought-tolerant, but regular watering is recommended to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
- Pruning: Dusty Miller can become leggy and overgrown, so regular pruning is necessary to keep it compact and maintain its shape. It's also important to remove any yellow or dead leaves to promote healthy growth.
