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 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 support healthy root development.
    • Once established, Teucrium fruticans requires minimal watering; it is drought-tolerant and prefers dry conditions.
    • Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
  3. Pruning:
    • Prune to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged branches.
    • Light pruning helps to maintain a compact form and encourage dense growth.
    • Major pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
  4. Fertilizing:
    • Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth.
    • Use fertilizers formulated for shrubs to provide essential nutrients.
    • Avoid over-fertilizing, as excessive nutrients can lead to excessive foliage growth and reduced flowering.
  5. Pest and Disease Control:
    • Teucrium fruticans is generally pest-resistant but can occasionally suffer from pests such as aphids or spider mites; treat with appropriate insecticides if necessary.
    • Monitor for diseases such as fungal infections or leaf spot; ensure good air circulation and avoid waterlogged soil.
    • Regularly inspect the plant for signs of pests or disease and address issues promptly.
