Care Guide
Watering
Astilbe Arendsii Astary Pink should be watered frequently since it prefers moist, well-drained soil. During periods of active growth (April to September), water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. During the winter months (November to March), water every 7–12 days. Try to avoid over watering Astilbe Arendsii Astary Pink, as soggy soil can lead to root rot and nutrient deficiencies. Additionally, be sure to always water the soil and not the foliage as wet foliage can result in fungal diseases.

Hardiness zone 4–9.
Pruning

To prune, carefully remove any dead or damaged foliage by cutting it back to the base of the plant. Healthy foliage should be left untouched. Deadheading spent flower blossoms or seedheads can help to encourage the production of new flowers during the next bloom cycle. If desired, 1 can thin out some of the thick foliage to help with air circulation and light penetration into the plant. Pruning of Astilbe arendsii ASTARY PINK should be done in moderation since it is possible to cut away too much and cause damage, stunting growth and preventing flowering.
