pollia

Pollia japonica requires regular watering. During the growin season, generally between mid-spring and the end of summer, water the plant every 3 to 4 days. During the hot summer months (typically from late June to early September), water the Pollia japonica every other day. Be sure not to overwater the plant as it can cause root rot. During the fall and winter months, reduce the watering to once every week to 10 days. To determine if your plant needs to be watered, periodically inspect the soil prior to watering. The soil should feel somewhat dry before watering and look for signs of wilting. Always check the soil beforehand and water if necessary.

Pollia japonica is a plant species native to Asia that requires sunlight for proper growth and development. It should receive direct sunlight for at least 4 hours a day, ideally early morning or late afternoon when the sun is less intense. To maximize growth and flowering, it should be exposed to bright, indirect sunlight (especially during the hottest parts of the day) as much as possible. During the cooler months, Pollia japonica can take advantage of full sun for up to 6 hours a day. This is beneficial for the plant to flower and fruit.

Pollia japonica is a tropical plant species that should be pruned carefully to ensure that its shape is maintained and that flowers will bloom in the spring. Pollia japonica should be pruned twice a year, in the spring and early fall. During the spring, the plant should be cut back by roughly 1-third of its height. In the fall, the remaining 2-thirds of the plant should be carefully pruned to shape the top into a rounded dome. Any dead leaves or stems should be removed from the plant during both periods of pruning. Pruning should be done regularly to keep the plant looking healthy and to promote the growth of new stems and leaves.
