Pulsatilla alpina requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and moderate humidity levels. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. This plant is best suited for outdoor growth in subalpine or subarctic climates.Soil
The Alpine Pasqueflower prefers well-draining loam soil. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can be detrimental to the plant. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal for this plant.Fertilizer
Pulsatilla alpina does not have high fertilizer requirements. If necessary, a balanced, slow-release fertilizer can be applied sparingly during the growing season.Repotting
