Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil improves its structure and water retention. Plants grown in pots can be planted year-round, except during frost periods. After planting, it's important to water the plants until they are well-rooted. The size of the plant determines the number of plants per square metre.

Pruning a Choisya ternata 'Sundance'

Choisya ternata 'Sundance' benefits from occasional pruning to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Pruning is best done in late spring after the main flowering period. This helps to remove any dead or crossing branches, which can improve air circulation and prevent disease. Cutting back spent flowers can also promote a second flush of blooms. Use clean, sharp secateurs to make precise cuts and avoid damaging the plant. Regular pruning not only keeps the shrub looking tidy but also supports its compact growth habit and enhances its vibrant yellow-green foliage.

Watering a Choisya ternata 'Sundance'

Choisya ternata 'Sundance' requires moderate watering. It is best to water deeply rather than giving small amounts daily. This encourages strong root growth. Check the soil regularly to ensure it is dry before watering again. Watering is most effective in the early morning or late afternoon to reduce evaporation. During dry, sunny periods, more frequent watering may be necessary. Rainwater can be used as an alternative to tap water. Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot, whether the plant is in the ground or a pot. Once established, Choisya ternata 'Sundance' can tolerate some drought, but young plants need regular watering to help them establish. Drip irrigation systems are effective once the plant is well-rooted, but initial hand watering is essential.

Fertilising a Choisya ternata 'Sundance'

Using organic fertilisers is recommended, as they provide nutrients without the risk of root or leaf burn that can occur with chemical fertilisers. Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer are excellent choices. Fertilise twice a year, in spring and summer, to support the plant's vitality. 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.
