How to Care for the Plant
Water
Grow Gaultheria procumbens in moist but well-drained, acidic soil in full sun to partial shade. Water deeply and regularly (mornings are best). Avoid overhead watering.
Pruning
The creeping and suckering stems are easily controlled by chopping through them with a spade once a year.
Fertilizer
Gaultheria grows best with a little shade and does best in acid soil – if yours is neutral or alkaline, simply grow your plants in containers of ericaceous (acidic) compost instead.
