watering

Water Golden Privet (Ligustrum 'NCLX1' GOLDEN TICKET) every few days when the soil feels dry to the touch. Water the plant deeply and avoid giving light, frequent showers. It is important not to over-water the Golden Privet, so water until it is damp and allow the top inch of soil to dry out between watering. During the summer, Golden Privet may require more frequent watering; during the winter, less frequent watering may be required.

sunlight

Golden privet (Ligustrum 'NCLX1' GOLDEN TICKET) thrives best in full sun, meaning it needs 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. It's best to plant this species in the morning as the light intensity is at its maximum. If direct sunlight is not available, the golden privet may need some additional shading from neighboring trees or buildings for protection from intense afternoon sunlight. This species should be watered regularly and will need to be fertilized about every 6 to 8 weeks.

pruning

Golden Privet (Ligustrum 'NCLX1' GOLDEN TICKET) should be pruned during the late spring, shortly after it flowers. Be sure to prune selectively, removing dead, damaged, or dull-looking foliage. Always prune selectively to maintain the natural shape of the plant. Pruning should be done with scissors or hedge shears rather than electric trimmers. Due to its fast-growing nature, Golden Privet should be pruned regularly and it can tolerate fairly severe pruning. Light pruning, such as shaping, can be done twice a year in late spring and early summer if desired.
