Watering

Even mild substrate moisture, mist foliage daily to boost air humidity

Fertilizing

Diluted tropical shrub feed every three weeks spring and summer growth

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 seed sown at 19 to 24°C in spring or root semi-hardwood cuttings in summer with bottom heat

Growing

Under glass grow in loam-based potting compost in bright filtered light with high humidity. Water freely when in growth and keep just moist in winter. May need restrictive pruning
