Proper soil preparation is crucial before planting Nandina domestica 'Gulfstream'. 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. After planting, it's important to water the plants until they are well-rooted. The size of the plant determines the number needed per square metre; for Nandina domestica 'Gulfstream', approximately 3-4 plants per m² is ideal. For more detailed planting instructions, consider the specific needs of your garden.

Pruning a Nandina domestica 'Gulfstream'

Nandina domestica 'Gulfstream' benefits from occasional 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 does not require frequent pruning, but removing any crossing, dead, or protruding branches can improve its appearance and health.

Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot, whether the plant is in the ground or a pot.

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 ensure optimal health. The amount of fertiliser depends on the plant's size. After application, water the garden to help nutrients reach the roots, especially during dry spells.
