watering

Fuzzy deutzia (Deutzia scabra) require regular watering to keep the soil moist and promote healthy growth. Watering frequency will depend on soil type, sunlight levels, and temperatures, but in general it should be watered every 2-3 days in the summer months and every 10 days to 2 weeks during the winter. It is important to check the soil to determine if the plant needs water and adjust the schedule accordingly. To water, provide the plant with a thorough drenching so that water runs through the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Allow the top layer of soil to dry between watering and be sure not to over-water as this can cause damage to the roots.

sunlight

Fuzzy deutzia (Deutzia scabra) is a plant species that prefers full sun to partial shade in order to thrive. As such, it needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. During the hottest summer months, however, it's best to provide some afternoon shade from the hot sun in order to protect its foliage from sunburn. It is important to note that this plant should be protected from high temperatures in order for it to thrive.

pruning

Fuzzy deutzia (Deutzia scabra) should be pruned twice a year, once in late spring and again in late summer. Late spring pruning should be done soon after the plants have finished blooming, and should involve the removal of any dead, weak, or overcrowded branches. Late summer pruning should also include the removal of any dead, weak, or overcrowded branches, but can extend to shortening those branches that are growing too tall or wide, or otherwise getting out of shape. In general, no more than 1-third of the total branches should be removed during either pruning session. Removing more than 1-third of the branches may put the plant at risk of becoming lopsided or sparse, and reducing the plant’s ability to adequately flower or produce fruit in the future.
