Primroses are known as potted plants for living spaces. But they also cut a fine figure in the garden bed - especially when they are in bloom. But if you neglect watering, you won't be able to enjoy them for long
How should you water primroses correctly?
Answer: To water primroses correctly, use low-lime to lime-free water, keep the soil moderately moist and avoid waterlogging. Water more during the flowering period and in autumn. Use additional liquid fertilizer for potted primroses and water more frequently in the sun.
Maintain a moist environment
Because primroses have large leaves, they evaporate a lot of water. Therefore, watering primroses is considered the most important part of caring for these plants. The soil should be kept moderately moist with low-lime to lime-free water and not dry out.
