Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight for best results. If you're planting in a container, select one that allows for good drainage to keep the roots healthy.
2. Watering: During the first growing season, water regularly to establish a strong root system. Once established, the Aphrodite Shrub is somewhat drought-tolerant, but regular watering during dry spells encourages optimal growth and flower production.
3. Pruning: Remove any dead or damaged branches in early spring to promote new growth and improve air circulation. Light pruning after flowering can help maintain its shape and encourage fuller blooms next season.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring as growth begins. This will enhance flowering potential and overall health throughout the growing season.
