sophora

Water Sophora davidii frequently to ensure the soil is kept continually moist, but not soggy. Watering this plant should be done at least once a week, usually more often in periods of high heat or dryness. Make sure you soak the entire soil around the plant but try not to get the leaves wet. It is best to water your Sophora davidii in the morning or late afternoon, avoiding the hottest parts of the day, when the sun will quickly burn off the water.

Sophora (Sophora davidii) prefers full to partial sun, with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. For best growth, it is best to position this plant in a spot that receives morning sunlight and afternoon shade, as intense afternoon sunlight can be harmful. This species does not tolerate full shade and will flower less when planted in deep shade. If possible, give Sophora Davidii direct sunlight and shelter from strong winds in order to ensure maximum growth and flowering.

Sophora davidii should be pruned once a year in the late winter or early spring months. Pruning should be done lightly to avoid over stressing the plant. Begin by removing any dead, diseased, or unruly branches with a pair of pruners. Then, if needed, lightly shape the plant by selectively removing any branches growing at an odd angle. Be careful to only remove less than 20% of the overall foliage, in order to keep the plant healthy, vigorous and balanced in shape.
