How do I plant a Ligustrum ovalifolium 'Aureum'?

Proper soil preparation is crucial before planting Ligustrum ovalifolium 'Aureum'. This process ensures the soil is well-drained and rich in nutrients, which is vital for healthy plant growth. Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil improves water permeability and nutrient availability. Plants grown in pots can be planted year-round, except during frost periods.

Ligustrum ovalifolium 'Aureum' benefits from regular pruning to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This plant can be pruned once or twice a year, depending on the desired shape and size. Removing crossing, dead, or protruding branches helps improve air circulation and light penetration. Cutting back faded flowers during the blooming period can stimulate new blooms. Use clean, sharp tools like secateurs or pruning shears to ensure precise cuts and prevent disease spread. Regular maintenance keeps the plant looking its best.

Watering a Ligustrum ovalifolium 'Aureum'

Check the soil before watering to ensure it's dry. Watering is most effective in the early morning or late afternoon to reduce evaporation. During dry spells, increase the frequency of watering. Rainwater can be used as an eco-friendly option. Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot, whether the plant is in the ground or a pot. Drip irrigation systems are beneficial once the plant is well-rooted. This plant is moderately drought-resistant.

Fertilising a Ligustrum ovalifolium 'Aureum'

Fertilising Ligustrum ovalifolium 'Aureum' is essential for its growth, bloom, and vitality. Using organic fertilisers is recommended to avoid root and leaf burn, which can occur with synthetic options. Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer are ideal choices. Fertilise twice a year, in spring and summer, to support healthy development. The amount of fertiliser depends on the plant's size, so adjust accordingly. Nutrients are absorbed when dissolved in water, so during dry spells, water the garden to help release nutrients into the soil for the roots to absorb.
