How To Grow

Excellent pest and disease resistance

Pest and disease free

Water during dry spells

Water frequently while the plant is getting established, and always keep moist.

Full sun to partial shade

Your plant will enjoy a sheltered or exposed position with around 6 hours of sunlight daily and some afternoon shade

Any fertile, well-drained soil

Prefers neutral to slightly acid soil that is also fertile. Mix in plenty of organic matter such as quality garden compost along with perlite if your soil is particularly clay-heavy or waterlogged. Avoid very alkaline soils which will give the plant a nutrient deficiency.

Feeding not required

You don't need to feed your Coprosma if it's in the ground. Plants in pots need feeding with a slow release feed, twice a year: once in spring and once in mid summer. ?v=1613300718
