Water pink Dianthus 'Pheasant's Eye' plant regularly, approximately 1-2 times weekly, to maintain moist soil. During summer months, water more frequently to keep soil consistently moist. In winter, water less often as the plant requires less moisture in the cooler months. To prevent root rot, avoid standing water in the pot. Furthermore, before watering, it is recommended to check the soil by sticking your finger in to make sure the soil is dry. When it does come to watering, soak the soil completely with lukewarm water. Overwatering can also fatally damage this species of plant.

Avoid direct sunlight during the mid-afternoon hours, as this may cause the foliage to become scorched. In the summer months, pink Dianthus 'Pheasant's Eye' may benefit from an additional hour or 2 of sun in the late afternoon.
