watering
Chinese witch hazel (Hamamelis mollis 'Gold Edge') should be watered when the soil is dry to the touch, usually 1 to 2 times a week when the weather is hot and dry and 1 to 2 times a month during the cooler months. Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom of the pot, then do not allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. If foliage appears wilted or yellowing, it's an indication that the plant needs more water.
sunlight
Chinese witch hazel (Hamamelis mollis 'Gold Edge') requires full sun for at least 6 hours per day in order to thrive. When the sunlight is too weak, the plant will not flower. During warmer months, the plant can tolerate direct sunlight when temperatures are not too hot. During the cooler months, it is best to provide the plant with shade during the hottest part of the day.
pruning
Chinese witch hazel (Hamamelis mollis 'Gold Edge') should be pruned in late winter or early spring, when the plant is still dormant. Prune off any dead branches, and also shorten the longest stems by no more than 1-third of the total length. This will encourage more branches and fuller, bushier growth. Thinning and spacing of inner branches can also be done to let more light and air in, as well as help keep the desired shape and size of the shrub. In addition, dead blooms can be pinched off to maintain an attractive appearance.
