yi yè qiu

Yi yè qiu (Flueggea suffruticosa) should be watered regularly but not overly given too much moisture. Water when the top few inches of soil in the pot feel dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Water about once a week in the summer months when the plant is actively growing. Reduce watering frequency during winter to every 2 to 3 weeks.

Yi yè qiu (Flueggea suffruticosa) grows best in full sunlight, with at least 5 hours of direct sunlight each day preferred. This should be during the middle of the day when the sunlight is strongest and when temperatures are warmest. In northern regions, if possible, try to provide at least 8 hours of direct sunlight. In colder climates, the best time for your yi yè qiu to receive direct sunlight is during the warmest hours of the day, usually from noon to late afternoon. Additionally, yi yè qiu prefers indirect sunlight in the morning hours, helping it to gradually warm up for the productive part of the day. Avoiding the late afternoon sun may also help reduce stress, which can otherwise weaken the plant.

Yi Yè Qiu (Flueggea suffruticosa) requires moderate pruning each year to maintain its healthy growth. Prune the plant in early spring, just as new growth appears. Start by removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches. Trim branches that are growing out of shape, making sure to leave at least 2 buds at the tip of every stem. Then thin out the crown of the plant, removing any crossing or crowded branches in order to thin out the foliage and let in light and air. Finally, reshape the remaining branches to encourage healthy, compact growth.
