Regular watering is needed during the growing season, but the soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings. The plant does well in average humidity levels.Soil
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in soil that is not too rich in nutrients. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 can be applied in the spring to promote healthy growth. Fertilize sparingly, as too much can lead to excessive foliage at the expense of flowers.Repotting
Coreopsis auriculata can be repotted or transplanted in early spring or fall. When repotting, choose a container with good drainage and use a well-draining soil mix. Be gentle with the roots to avoid damage.Propagation
Propagation can be done through division or seeds. Division is best done in early spring or fall. Simply dig up the plant, divide the root clump, and replant the divisions. Seeds can be sown in the spring after the last frost.Pruning
Pruning is beneficial for maintaining the plant's shape and encouraging more blooms. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming. Cut back the plant in late fall after the first frost to prepare it for dormancy.Toxicity
Coreopsis auriculata is not toxic to pets or humans. It is considered safe for gardens and landscapes where pets and children are present.Additional
