Loropetalum China Pink care

Loropetalum China Pink is a beautiful shrub that requires specific care to thrive. It flourishes in full sun to partial shade. It prefers moist but well-drained soil that is fertile and rich in humus. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot and this cannot be emphasised enough. While it can handle moderate frost, young plants should be protected in colder regions. Similarly, shelter from wind is also recommended. Feed it with tree fertiliser in early spring before new growth begins. If shaping is needed, it's best to prune after flowering. Generally, this variety is relatively pest and disease-free. However, keep an eye out for scale insects and treat with an insecticide if levels are high.
