watering
Water Chinese witch hazel (Hamamelis mollis 'Wisley Supreme') regularly, about once or twice per week. Water the plant deeply, so that the soil becomes thoroughly moist but not overly soggy. Water in the morning when possible and avoid watering in the evening to minimize the risk of disease. During the summer, you may need to water more often. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, but never let the plant dry out. If the soil feels dry to the touch, it’s time to water your plant.
sunlight
Chinese witch hazel (Hamamelis mollis 'Wisley Supreme') should have access to a minimum of 4 hours of full sunlight per day. The optimal amount of sunlight for this plant species is between 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day, which can be direct or filtered through a canopy. During the winter months, when the sun's light is weaker, it is recommended to increase the amount of sunlight to 6 hours per day, paying close attention to avoid direct afternoon sun.
pruning
Chinese witch hazel (Hamamelis mollis 'Wisley Supreme') should be pruned in late winter or early spring to maintain healthy growth and to keep the plant compact. Pruning should be limited to removal of dead, damaged or diseased branches and occasional selective thinning of branches. If needed, selective pruning can be done to promote flowering. Pruning should be done no more than 25-30% of the whole plant as excessive pruning can cause excess stress on the plant and lead to poor health or die-back.
