Water

Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Repotting the Small Flowered Catchfly should be done either when it has doubled in size or on a yearly basis, whichever occurs sooner. Fresh potting soil with all the required nutrients, refreshed annually, will provide the plant with all the necessary sustenance, making the use of fertilizer unnecessary. Keep in mind that plants receive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
