Watering

Water regularly, especially during dry spells; keep the soil moist but well-drained.

Fertilizing

Apply a balanced fertilizer for acid-loving plants in spring.

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 grafting in late winter, or by budding in late summer

Growing

Grow in moderately fertile soil with good drainage, in an open but not exposed position. Prefers neutral to acid soil, but will tolerate deep, humus rich soils over chalk. See hamamelis cultivation for more detailed advice
