• In summer, plants should be watered with moderate amounts of water, but regularly. Reduce watering during the winter months to keep the plants from rotting.
• Air humidity for room primrose is not critical, there is no need to spray the plants.
• Young primroses are transplanted every year, and adult outlets are transplanted into fresh soil every 2-3 years.
• The substrate for growing primroses should contain a mixture of turf, peat soil, compost and sand (3: 2: 1: 1).
• The primrose can be propagated, for example, with the help of lateral processes that form on the plants after the peduncles are removed. The shoots are cut in the spring, immediately planted in containers with earth and covered with jars, plastic bottles or plastic wrap. Rooting of cuttings is quite fast.
