zabelia

Zabelia tyaihyonii should be watered every 5 to 7 days, depending on the pot size and the environment it is in. For large pots, some deep watering every 10 days is recommended. Make sure the soil is moist to the touch before watering it again. Avoid overwatering or underwatering the plant, as both will cause leaf drop and other potential issues. During colder months, water less than you normally would in the warmer months. Zabelia tyaihyonii is also sensitive to different pH levels, and prefers slightly acidic soil. Soil tests should be conducted regularly to assess pH levels and make sure they remain within the proper range.

Zabelia tyaihyonii requires 4-6 hours of full sunlight for optimal growth. This should be provided in the early morning or late afternoon during the summer months and for at least 4-5 hours a day during the colder winter months. Plants should be moved away from direct sunlight during the hottest parts of the day or filtered sunlight provided to avoid stressing the plant. When the natural light is not available, fluorescent lighting can be used to supplement light levels. Zabelia tyaihyonii advantageously benefits from an additional 2 to 3 hours of indirect light for the remainder of the day.

Zabelia (Zabelia tyaihyonii) should be pruned twice a year - once in early spring and again in late summer. In early spring, remove any dead or diseased branches, and prune any branches that are crossing or crowding out others. In late summer, thin the leaf cover by removing any stems or branches that appear over-crowded. This will help promote more air circulation and allow more light to reach the base of the plant. Make sure to use sharp and clean tools to avoid any damage to the plant.
