watering
Glumicalyx goseloides is a drought-tolerant plant species that requires minimal water. During the summer growing season, it needs only a regular, light watering every 7 to 10 days. In the winter months, water the plant only sparingly, about once every 2 to 4 weeks. Before watering, always check the soil to make sure that it is completely dry before adding water, as overwatering can lead to root rot.
sunlight
Glumicalyx goseloides is a plant species native to South East Asia, growing in semi-shaded areas with partial sun exposure. During the summer months, plants should receive 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. During colder months, glumicalyx can handle up to 8 hours of direct sunlight, and generally prefers less in the wintertime. Additionally, glumicalyx are more shade-tolerant, preferring cool to mid-level shade in the hottest times of the day. In the winter, glumicalyx goseloides can suffer from too much direct winter sun, but if kept in a cool, shaded area, they can tolerate lower light levels.
pruning
Glumicalyx goseloides should be pruned annually and lightly for best results. Pruning should take place in early summer when it finishes blooming. Removal of any dead or damaged branches should be done first. Spent flowering stems can also be removed. Then, selective pruning of branches that are growing out of bounds should be done, as well as careful thinning of the shrub’s foliage to promote air circulation and light penetration. Pruning should be done with sharp garden clippers or lopping shears. The finished shape should be natural looking.
