How to care for your Pachysandra Terminalis Green Sheen

  • Light and Water Requirements: Prefers full to partial shade, although it can tolerate some sun in cooler climates. It requires regular watering during the first growing season to establish itself, but once established, it is drought tolerant. Water the plant deeply once a week during periods of drought.
  • Soil Requirements: This plant can grow in a wide range of soil types, but it prefers moist, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. To improve soil quality, add organic matter like compost or leaf litter.
  • Fertiliser: Does not require frequent fertilisation, but a light application of balanced fertiliser in the Spring can encourage healthy growth.
  • Pruning: Prune the plant in early Spring to remove any damaged or dead foliage. This will also help to maintain the plant’s compact shape and prevent it from becoming too leggy.

By following these simple care tips, you can enjoy a healthy and vibrant Pachysandra Terminalis Green Sheen plant in your garden or landscape.
