How do I plant a Weigela 'Candida'?

Soil preparation is crucial for the successful planting of Weigela 'Candida'. Properly preparing the soil ensures good water drainage and nutrient availability, which are essential for plant growth. Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil can greatly enhance these conditions. Plants grown in pots, such as Weigela 'Candida', 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; for Weigela 'Candida', approximately 2 to 3 plants per m² are recommended. For more detailed planting instructions, consider the specific needs of your garden.

Pruning a Weigela 'Candida'

Weigela 'Candida' benefits from regular pruning to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Pruning is best done after the flowering period, typically in late summer. This helps to remove any dead or crossing branches, which can improve air circulation and prevent overcrowding. Cutting back spent flowers can also promote a second bloom. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make precise cuts and reduce the risk of disease. Regular pruning not only keeps the plant looking tidy but also supports its robust and upright to bushy growth habit.

Watering a Weigela 'Candida'

The Weigela 'Candida' requires moderate watering, thriving best when the soil is kept consistently moist. It's advisable to water deeply rather than giving small amounts daily, ensuring the roots receive adequate moisture. Early morning is the optimal time for watering, reducing evaporation and allowing the plant to absorb water efficiently. Rainwater can be a great alternative to tap water. Regularly check the soil to determine if watering is necessary, as overwatering can be detrimental. Ensure excess water can drain away, whether the plant is in the ground or a pot. Once established, this plant can tolerate short dry spells, but young plants benefit from additional watering support.

Fertilising a Weigela 'Candida'

Fertilising Weigela 'Candida' is essential for promoting healthy growth and vibrant blooms. Regular feeding enhances the plant's vitality, ensuring it remains robust and attractive. Using organic fertilisers is recommended, as they prevent root and leaf burn that can occur with synthetic options. Consider Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer in spring and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer in summer. Apply fertiliser twice a year, adjusting the amount based on the plant's size. Ensure nutrients reach the roots by watering the soil, especially during dry spells. This practice helps the plant absorb the nutrients effectively, supporting its overall health and flowering potential.
