How to Care for the Plant

Water
American holly needs to be kept moist while it getting established, but after the first year or so, watering once a week (about 1 inch) is sufficient. This plant has a good tolerance for occasional drought.
Fertilizer
Early each spring, American holly will appreciate an application of an acidifying fertilizer.
Sunlight
American holly will grow nicely in most full sun to part shade locations. In hot climates, plants will do best if they get some afternoon shade.
