How to care for your Myrtus Glanleam Gold

• Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade and will perform best in areas that receive at least 4 hours of direct sunlight per day.
• Soil: This shrub prefers well-drained soil and will not tolerate standing water. If your soil is heavy or has poor drainage, consider amending it with compost or sand to improve the soil structure.
• Watering: Once established, it is drought-tolerant. However, during prolonged periods of drought or extreme heat, it may need additional watering. Water the shrub deeply and allow the soil to dry out partially before watering again.
• Fertilisation: It will benefit from a light application of a balanced fertiliser in the Spring, followed by a light feeding in the Summer. Be careful not to over fertilise, as this can lead to excessive growth and decreased flowering.
• Pruning: This shrub can be pruned at any time, but it is best to do so in late Winter or early Spring, just before new growth begins. Pruning will help to maintain the shape and size of the shrub, as well as encourage new growth and flowering.

By following these simple tips, you can keep your Myrtus Glanleam Gold healthy and thriving for years to come.
