Requisitos de Luz
Requisitos de Agua
Water deeply 2–3 times per week during establishment, then reduce to weekly once roots are established.
Regular watering required — not drought tolerant. Water 2-3x per week year-round (daily during establishment). Do not allow to dry out between waterings — drought stress triggers spider mite outbreaks. Avoid overwatering — Phytophthora root rot is the primary failure cause in poorly drained soils. Consistent moisture at right level is the key management challenge.
Suelo y Fertilización
Fertilizer: Acid-forming slow-release fertilizer for acid-loving plants (azalea/camellia formula) plus chelated iron micronutrients. Target soil pH 5.0-6.5.
Schedule: February, May, and September. Acid-forming slow-release fertilizer plus chelated iron in limestone soils.
