watering
The silverbush plant requires moderate watering on a regular basis, with the soil being kept uniformly moist at all times. The best way to water this plant is to allow the soil to become slightly dry to the touch and then water thoroughly, allowing the excess water to drain out. This should be done every 7–10 days. Additionally, during hot weather, you may need to water more frequently.
sunlight
The silverbush plant requires a lot of sunlight for optimal growth. During the growing season from spring to early autumn, silverbush should be placed in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. If possible, position the plant in an area that receives morning sun and afternoon shade. In the winter months, silverbush should receive less direct sunlight, but indirect light that is filtered through a window or cloth will keep the plant healthy during this dormant period.
pruning
With a silvery-green foliage and pretty white flowers, silverbush can brighten up your garden. The best time to prune your silverbush is during the late winter or early spring, when the plant is just beginning to bud. To keep it tidy, the plant should be pruned regularly to encourage new growth. Start by removing any weak, damaged or dead foliage and stems. This should be done before the plant buds, as this will keep it healthy and encourage bushy growth. After this, the shrub should be trimmed and shaped to give it that tidy look. Be sure not to cut too much off, as this could weaken the plant and cause damage. When done in moderation, silverbush will respond well to a thorough pruning. As with any pruning, it is best to use sharp, clean shears, and work slowly for best results. In summary, the best time to prune silverbush is during late winter or early spring. When pruning, it is important to start by getting rid of dead foliage and stems to keep the plant healthy, followed by trimming and shaping for a tidy look. Be sure to use sharp, clean shears for best results.
