Care.
To water
The Photinia isn't a demanding plant when it comes to care, but it does require some maintenance. Especially in very hot and dry conditions, the plant needs sufficient water.
Pruning
The Photinia tolerates pruning well. It's wise to prune the plant at least once a year once it's older. Pruning twice a year is also fine. Pruning is divided into main pruning, which is best done in March, and topiary pruning, which is best done in August. How the Photinia should be pruned depends on the type of pruning the plant receives. The first pruning is main pruning, which cuts the plant back further. This encourages the plant to produce new branches. The second pruning is topiary pruning, which essentially trims the plant into shape.
Extra plant food
It's a good idea to fertilize the plant once a year with organic fertilizer. You can do this after the first pruning or in early spring. Be careful not to leave any fertilizer residue on the leaves.
How do I plant the Photinia?
First, find a suitable spot for the plant. The best location for the Photinia is in sun or partial shade. The plant prefers a partially sheltered spot. If you want to plant a hedge, it's wise to determine beforehand how tall you want the plants to grow. If you want to create a dense hedge, it's wise to plant them 50 cm apart. The best time to plant is in the fall, but you can plant this plant practically year-round. When planting, it's important to dig a hole that's larger than the root ball. Once the plant is in the hole, you can add some extra fertilizer to the soil to stimulate growth. Make sure the soil is about 5 centimeters above the root ball and give the plant plenty of water.
