Soil

Daphne is suitable for loose, fertile, well-drained, acidic soil.

Fertilizer

The main fertilizers for Daphne are nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, and the fertilizer solution that has been fully decomposed must be applied, and a small amount of black vitriol water must be added. Note that the fertilizer used for daphne should be light and avoid being too thick. Note that it is not advisable to fertilize when the pot soil is too wet or the temperature is too high or too low. You can also apply some decomposed manure before overwintering.

Notes

Daphne It is more resistant to pruning. Usually, before it sprouts, the dense branches can be cut off to leave some gaps, which is conducive to ventilation and light transmission. Daphne is suitable for pruning after the flowers fade. In addition to shortening the branches that have bloomed, you should also cut off overlapping branches, overly dense branches, leggy branches, diseased branches and other branches to ensure the beautiful shape of the plant.

Daphne is generally repotted and soiled every 2-3 years, usually after the flowers fade. When repotting, remove about 2/3 of the old soil, and trim off some excessively long fibrous roots. This can be combined with repotting and lifting the roots appropriately.
