Use clean, sharp tools like secateurs or pruning shears to make precise cuts. Keeping tools clean is important to avoid spreading any potential plant issues. Regular pruning ensures the plant remains compact and vibrant.

Watering a Photinia fraseri 'Carré Rouge'

Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot, whether the plant is in the ground or a pot. Once established, this plant shows good drought resistance, but initial watering is crucial for root development.

Using organic fertilisers is recommended, as they prevent root and leaf burn that can occur with chemical alternatives. Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer are excellent choices. Fertilise twice a year, in spring and summer, to ensure the plant receives the nutrients it needs. The amount of fertiliser depends on the plant's size, so adjust accordingly. Nutrients are absorbed when rain or watering helps them penetrate the soil. During dry spells, water the garden to activate the fertiliser and nourish the roots effectively.
