Watering

Keep soil evenly moist with warmth and humidity

Fertilizing

Balanced feed every few weeks in active 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 softwood cuttings in spring, or greenwood cuttings in summer

Growing

Under glass, grow in loam-based compost in full light. In the growing season, water freely and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly; water sparingly in winter
