Deutzia Gracilis Care

Water: Medium

All deutzia should be pruned immediately after the flowers have finished - this will be early - mid - summer. If you prune them too late after flowering, then they will not have enough time to produce their new stems - which will be the flowering stems for the next year. In this particular shrub's case, when is as important as how!

For ideal blooming, add a balanced fertilizer to the plant at the beginning of spring. As the plant grows older, it is better to apply fertilizer 2-3 times a year to ensure it continues to bloom properly.

If the plants are in living rooms or any room in the house, provide a sunny location (if possible, with protection from direct sunlight at noon in summer), the brightest possible light.

The substrate is very easy to select. It must always be acidic, consisting mainly of peat or pure peat, be coarse, dense enough. Responds well to substrates for rhododendrons, mixtures of equal parts of coniferous, peat soil, humus and sand.

Temperatures of up to 15°C (59°F) are suitable for blooming, but will do well in warmer locations as long as there is access to air and good light.
