Care Requirements

Below, you’ll find key tips tailored to this species’ requirements. Whether you’re new to plant care or have plenty of experience, these guidelines are here to support you in keeping your green companion healthy and vibrant.

  1. Planting:
    • Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil.
    • Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and equal in depth.
    • Place the plant in the hole, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly.
    • Ensure adequate spacing from other plants and structures to accommodate its mature size.
  2. Watering:
    • Water regularly during the establishment period to promote healthy root development.
    • Once established, Dodonaea viscosa is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering.
    • Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
  3. Pruning:
    • Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged branches, and encourage a dense, bushy habit.
    • Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
    • Avoid heavy pruning, which can stress the plant; light, regular pruning is sufficient.
  4. Fertilizing:
    • Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth.
    • Avoid excessive fertilization, which can lead to lush foliage growth at the expense of plant health.
    • Reduce fertilization in the winter months or during periods of dormancy.
  5. Pest and Disease Control:
    • Dodonaea viscosa is relatively pest-resistant but can occasionally suffer from pests such as aphids or scale insects; treat with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil if necessary.
    • Monitor for fungal diseases like root rot; ensure good air circulation and avoid waterlogged soil.
    • Regularly inspect the plant for signs of pests or disease and address issues promptly.
