Choose a site with well-draining soil and full sun to partial shade. Distylium is adaptable and can tolerate different light conditions.
Once established, distylium is drought-tolerant. Water young plants regularly to establish roots. Mature plants typically don't need frequent watering.
Distylium grows well in various soil types but prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
While distylium is generally hardy, providing a layer of mulch around the roots can offer added protection during winter, especially in colder regions.
Keep an eye on the growth and condition of the plant. If there are signs of stress, adjust watering or environmental conditions accordingly.
Distylium doesn't require heavy feeding. A balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring can help enhance growth.
Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Pruning is generally minimal but can help shape the shrub. Lightly prune to maintain the desired shape and remove any dead or damaged branches.
Distylium is relatively resistant to pests and diseases, making it an easy-care plant. Regularly inspect for any signs of pests or disease, and treat if necessary.
