Difficulty
Pacific Trillium requires a bit more attention and knowledge to thrive, making it a suitable plant for those with some gardening experience.
Water
Pacific Trillium should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil
Pacific Trillium loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.
Dormancy
During the cold period, it is common for Pacific Trillium to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more during this period.
