Avoid overhead watering and properly ventilate to minimize moisture which may cause mold, downy mildew, and powdery mildew. Monitor Teddy Bear sunflowers regularly for aphids. Warmer climates cause Teddy Bears to stretch and grow larger, where as cooler temperatures will cause the plants to exhibit a more dwarfed habit.
