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 and spread.
  2. Watering:
    • Water regularly during the establishment period to promote healthy root development.
    • Once established, Myrtus tarentina is drought-tolerant and requires less frequent watering.
    • Water during prolonged dry periods to keep the soil from becoming too dry.
  3. Pruning:
    • Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged branches, and control size.
    • Prune after flowering to encourage new growth and maintain a compact form.
    • Regular light pruning helps to maintain a neat appearance and promotes better flowering.
  4. Fertilizing:
    • Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth.
    • Use fertilizers formulated for flowering plants to enhance bloom production.
    • Avoid over-fertilizing, as excessive nutrients can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowering.
  5. Pest and Disease Control:
    • Myrtus tarentina is generally pest-resistant but can occasionally suffer from pests such as scale insects or aphids; treat with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil if necessary.
    • Monitor for fungal diseases like leaf spot or root rot; ensure good air circulation and avoid waterlogged soil.
    • Regularly inspect the plant for signs of pests or disease and address issues promptly.
