Watering

Moderate regular watering, avoid prolonged drought or waterlogging

Fertilizing

Balanced feed in spring and light repeat in growth season

Pruning

Little pruning is needed. Remove diseased, damaged, crowded or crossing shoots and unwanted growth. Timing depends on the plant: generally late winter or early spring; plants prone to bleeding and deciduous magnolias need different timing, and deciduous azaleas and lilacs are pruned after flowering.

Propagation

Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings in summer, or by grafting in winter under glass or late summer outdoors

Growing

Grow outdoors in very mild areas in acid to neutral, well-drained soil. Grow under glass in lime-free compost with added grit in full light and apply low phosphate, liquid fertiliser monthly when in growth
