Care Guide
Good pest and disease resistance
Lithodora have few problems with pests and diseases. It can, however, have issues with Aphids. To combat aphids you can pick away the bugs with your hands and also spray the infested areas with soapy water.MORE
Water lightly
Keep the soil from drying out, but be careful not to overwater.
Full Sun to Partial Shade
Ideally, plant somewhere the plant will receive 6-8 hours of direct sunlight every day. Lithodora will also do well in partial shade.
Free draining, slightly acidic soil
Lithodora will do well in most soils, but prefer a slightly acidic soil. If your soil is not acidic, mix in plenty of Ericaceous compost.
Feed lightly
If the leaves turn a pale greenish-yellow, use a fertiliser for acid loving plants in late Winter or early Spring. ?v=1613300718
