Brunia Questions

1. How long does Brunia last?

The vase life of Brunia, also known as silver brunia or Brunia albiflora, is typically around 7 to 10 days. However, with proper care, it can last up to two weeks.

2. How do you grow Brunia?

New Zealand's climate and growing conditions are generally favourable for growing Brunia. Here's a specific guide on how to grow them:

  1. Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade, with well-drained soil. Ensure the planting site is not exposed to strong winds.
  2. Prepare the soil by adding compost or other organic matter. Mix this thoroughly into the top 25 cm of soil.
  3. Dig a hole slightly wider and deeper than the Brunia root ball. Gently remove the Brunia from its container, taking care not to damage the roots. Place the Brunia in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill the hole with and firm it gently around the base of the plant.
  4. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil and provide the plant with moisture. Brunia prefers deep but infrequent watering, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
  5. Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as bark chips or wood shavings, around the base of the plant. Mulch helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
  6. Apply a light application of a balanced fertilizer in the spring to support healthy growth and flowering.
  7. Brunia requires minimal pruning. However, light pruning in the spring can help maintain its shape and encourage new growth.
  8. Brunia is generally resistant to pests and diseases, however, it can be susceptible to fungal diseases if grown in poorly drained soil or overwatered.
  9. If you reside in an area with colder winters, consider providing Brunia with some winter protection. Use frost cloth to protect it from harsh temperatures.

By following these guidelines, you can successfully grow Brunia and enjoy its unique beauty and fragrance.
