It is important to provide adequate watering for Deutzia 'NCDX2' YUKI CHERRY BLOSSOM plants, as they are not drought tolerant. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, generally every 7-10 days during the summer and every 10-14 days during the winter period. It is best to water in the morning so that the foliage has time to dry off during the day to prevent fungal diseases. During periods of extreme and/or prolonged heat, increase the frequency of watering if the soil seems to dry out quickly. In the winter, be sure to reduce watering frequency to allow the soil to become nearly dry before replenishing.

Deutzia 'NCDX2' YUKI CHERRY BLOSSOM requires moderate to full sunlight, which means it should get at least 4-5 hours of direct sunlight every day for optimal growth. It grows best in full sun in the morning, followed by shade in the afternoon to protect it from the heat. When in full bloom, the flowers of this plant are most vibrant with a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. This means that if your deutzia plant is not getting enough sunlight, then it is not likely to produce blooms.

Deutzia 'NCDX2' Yuki Cherry Blossom should be pruned in early spring right after blooming has finished to maintain a desired shape and size. Remove any dead, diseased or damaged branches with sharp, clean pruning shears. Start trimming by cutting back shoots to the desired shape and size. Make sure to cut to an outward facing bud. Deadheading spent flowers is also important. The pruning should be light overall, with less than a third of the plant removed in 1 pruning. After pruning, fertilize and water the plant for best results.
