watering
Heavenly Bamboo should be watered regularly and deeply. Watering should occur every 5-7 days during the growing season (April through October) and every 10-14 days during the dormant winter months (November through March). This plant prefers consistently moist soil, but avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. As a general rule, when the top 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) of soil feels dry to the touch, it is time to water. For best results, water until the soil is uniformly damp at a depth of 8-10 inches (20-25 cm). Provide more water during periods of drought or extreme heat.
sunlight
Heavenly bamboo (Nandina domestica 'Harbour Dwarf') is known for its love of sun, but should not be left in direct, hot sunlight all day. The plant would do best with around 4 hours of direct sunlight each day, preferably in the morning. Allow the plant some protection from afternoon sun, especially in the hottest months. If planted in a sunny location, the plant may require additional protection from the harsh rays of the sun, such as by providing it with some shade.
pruning
Heavenly bamboo (Nandina domestica 'Harbour Dwarf') should be pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. Prune dead stems during the growing season and then again in late winter. When pruning, it’s important to remove the stem close to the base of the plant. Don’t prune more than 1-third of the total plant in 1 session. Pruning should be done to shape the plant, encourage more blooms, and thin out overcrowded stems. Over-pruning could cause legginess, stunted growth, and an excess of flowers and fruits.
