- Once established, water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between watering.
- Cape Honeysuckle is drought-tolerant but performs best with occasional deep watering during prolonged dry spells.
- Pruning:
- Prune regularly to control size, encourage bushier growth, and remove dead or damaged branches.
- Pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
- Light trimming after each flowering cycle can promote continuous blooming.
- Fertilizing:
- Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering.
- Additional feeding may be beneficial during the blooming season to support vigorous flowering.
- Pest and Disease Control:
- Cape Honeysuckle is generally pest-resistant, but monitor for aphids, spider mites, and scale insects.
- Use insecticidal soap or neem oil if infestations occur.
- Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues, especially in humid climates.
