This helps to remove any dead or crossing branches, which can improve air circulation and prevent disease. Cutting back spent flowers during the blooming period can encourage more blooms. Use clean, sharp tools like secateurs or pruning shears to make precise cuts. Regular pruning not only enhances the plant's appearance but also supports its overall vitality, making it a valuable addition to any garden.

Watering a Heptacodium miconioides

During dry spells, check the soil to ensure it truly needs water. Rainwater can be a great alternative to tap water. While Heptacodium miconioides is somewhat drought-resistant, newly planted specimens benefit from regular watering until well-established. Drip irrigation systems are effective once the plant is fully rooted.

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 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.
