Lindleys silverpuffs can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but its distribution may still be restricted by specific combinations of moisture and heat. It does best in warm summer conditions with sufficient rainfall or watering. Long periods of cloudy, rainy weather, as well as extended high temperatures, can raise the chance of Lindleys silverpuffs dying. In winter, protecting the plant from cold can increase its survival rate.

Fertilizer

When Lindleys silverpuffs has opened most of its blooms to full size, resume fertilizing. At the time when blooms are at their peak, apply fertilizer once every three to four weeks, as weather permits. Then, once Lindleys silverpuffs begins to produce fewer new blooms, stop fertilizing; there is no need to fertilize when the plant can no longer produce additional blooms.
