Planting:  Choose a site with acidic, well-drained soil and partial shade to full sun exposure. Dig a hole twice as wide and deep as the root ball and amend the soil with organic matter.

Watering: Provide regular watering, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants in early spring. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it may lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowering.

Mulching: Mulch around the base of the plant to conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain a more consistent soil temperature.

Pruning: Minimal pruning is required, primarily for shaping and removing dead or diseased branches. Prune after flowering to avoid cutting off next year's flower buds.

Note
Please note that the plant will be shipped in its pot, securely fastened with multiple layers of clear tape to prevent any shifting or damage during transit. This ensures that the plant arrives to you with minimal damage, safely and securely. We have been employing this method for shipping plants for several years, occasionally using smaller pots for added safety and convenience during transit. It's important to understand that many plants enter a dormant state during the fall and winter months, resulting in the loss of most leaves and appearing dry or lifeless. This is a natural process, and come springtime, they will begin to regrow and thrive once again. Please be aware that due to regulations set by the Department of Agriculture, there are certain plants and sizes that we are unable to ship to California. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
