How to Care for the Plant
Water
Asters like moist soil. They can tolerate lower levels of soil moisture as long as it’s not completely dry to the touch. Water your plants well during stretches with no rainfall.
Fertilizer
Plan to fertilize your asters in the spring when new growth appears. Use a water-soluble or granular fertilizer made for flowering plants.
Sunlight
Asters need a spot with full sun to grow and bloom their best. That means their growing site should get at least six hours of sunlight on most days.

Soil
These plants prefer rich soil with a slightly acidic soil pH and good drainage, but they can grow in other soil types as well. They’re even tolerant of clay soil.
Temperature
If you are planting seeds, they should germinate with a soil temperature of 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Extremely hot weather can make the plants wilt, but they should come back fine once the temperature cools.
