watering
Buckley's St. Johnswort (Hypericum buckleyi) should be watered regularly but only when the soil is dry to the touch. During the summer months, the soil should be watered every 5-7 days, while in the spring and fall, the soil should only be watered once every 10-14 days. In the winter, water your Buckley's St. Johnswort only when conditions are dry, every few weeks or so. When watering, make sure the water is evenly distributed across the entire root zone. Water in the morning and avoid wetting the foliage. Overwatering can cause root rot and other diseases.
sunlight
Buckley's St. Johnswort (Hypericum buckleyi) is a native plant species to the southeastern United States. It requires direct sunlight for a minimum of 5-6 hours a day. The best time for the plant to be exposed to the sun is in the morning and early afternoon, when the indirect light shades the plant from strong direct sunlight. In summer, the plant should be protected from the afternoon sun and kept moist with frequent water to avoid any potential burning.
pruning
Buckley's St. Johnswort (Hypericum buckleyi) should be pruned in late winter or early spring. Pruning should be limited to cutting up to 1-third of the plant’s growth back. This will help ensure healthy and robust plants for the current year and many years to come. Dead or damaged branches should also be removed to encourage new growth.
