Care Information:

Climate Adaptability: Best suited to temperate conditions. Protect from strong winds and excessive heat.

Sun Exposure: Thrives in dappled shade or a sheltered position. Avoid harsh midday and afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.

Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, particularly during dry spells, but ensure good drainage to avoid root issues.

Soil Type: Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter for optimum growth.

Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed. Light shaping in late summer or removal of dead branches will maintain its natural form.

Fertilisation: Apply a slow-release, balanced fertiliser in early spring to support healthy foliage and seasonal colour.
