Primrose 4”

1. Light

Prefer partial shade or filtered sunlight.

Avoid direct afternoon sun, especially in warmer climates.

2. Watering

Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy.

Water at the base to prevent fungal diseases on leaves.

Use room-temperature water to avoid shocking the plant.

3. Soil

Well-draining, rich, loamy soil with organic matter is ideal.

A slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5-7.0) works best.

4. Temperature & Humidity

Primroses prefer cool temperatures (50-65F)

High humidity is beneficial, but ensure good air circulation to prevent disease.

5. Fertilizing

 Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during blooming.

Avoid excessive nitrogen, which promotes leaves over flowers.

6. Deadheading & Pruning

Remove faded flowers to encourage more blooms.

Trim yellow or damaged leaves to maintain plant health.

7. Overwintering

Perennial varieties (like Primula vulgaris) can survive cold winters with mulch protection.

Annual varieties don’t return after frost but can be grown indoors.

8. Common Problems

Yellowing leaves = Overwatering or poor drainage.

Wilting= Underwatering or high temperatures.

Powdery mildew= Improve air circulation and avoid wet leaves
