Primroses herald spring with cheerful clusters of flowers in nearly every color. Sold in bloom from late December, they're actually cool-season plants that struggle in warm homes—but with the right conditions, their display lasts weeks.
7–16°C (45–61°F) for longest bloom. Above 16°C → rapid flower fade. Cool nights essential. Avoid heat vents, sunny windows.
Bright, indirect light. No direct sun. Keep compost evenly moist—water 2–3x/week. Never wet flowers. Remove spent blooms/leaves to prolong flowering.
Most are discarded. To perennialize: after bloom, repot (max 15 cm pot), divide if needed. Summer outdoors in shade. Cool autumn rest (10–16°C) initiates next bloom cycle.
Seeds difficult (need cold stratification). Division easiest. Pests: botrytis (overwatering/poor airflow), spider mites (dry air), aphids (new growth).
Enjoy primroses as seasonal color—like cut flowers that last weeks longer.
