watering
Slender Deutzia (Deutzia gracilis 'Nikko') should be watered an average of once a week throughout the growing season. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, as too much moisture can lead to root rot. During the winter, water only when the soil is absolutely dry, as this helps the plant to enter a state of dormancy. If temperatures are especially hot, it may need to be watered more frequently.
sunlight
Slender deutzia (Deutzia gracilis 'Nikko') does best in areas of full sun, receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. In areas with milder climates, the plant can tolerate some light afternoon shade, but for optimal growth and flowering, it should be grown in areas that provide the full intensity of the sun's rays throughout the day.
pruning
Slender deutzia (Deutzia gracilis 'Nikko') should be lightly pruned in late winter or early spring just before growth begins. This type of pruning should focus on removing any dead, diseased, or broken branches, and removing any overcrowded or crossed branches within the plant. It may also be helpful to remove any lower branches that are growing close to the ground in order to improve air circulation and reduce the chances of disease. As a general rule, pruning slender deutzia should not exceed 1-third of the total growth or branch mass, as this can deplete the overall health of the plant.
