watering
Alabama snow wreath should be watered once per week. The plant should be watered until the soil is saturated, ensuring that water runs out of the drainage holes of the pot. Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between watering. During the heat of summer, watering needs may increase to twice a week if the plant dries out quickly. Be mindful of rainfall as well, and adjust watering needs accordingly.
sunlight
Alabama snow wreath is a deciduous shrub that requires a lot of sunlight. For optimal growth, 6 to 8 hours of direct sun per day is recommended. It prefers full sun during the early and mid-growing season, and it is tolerant of partial shade during the hottest part of the day, from midday to early afternoon. When grown in partial shade, the shrub may lack the desired bushiness. In this case, pruning may be necessary to maintain the desired aesthetic.
pruning
Alabama snow wreath should be pruned in late winter or early spring before the buds open. Pruning should be done lightly; only removing dead, diseased or damaged branches. Too much pruning will reduce the size and amount of flowers and berries. Pruning should only be done to thin out the bush, not to change its shape. Make sure to use clean and sharp pruning tools to reduce the risk of damage to the plant.
