Four major misunderstandings in pearl bush cultivation

Cultivating pearl bushes blindly provides shade

Pearl bush is a relatively shade-tolerant plant. Many people think that it is relatively shade-tolerant when growing pearl bush, so they plant it in darker places that lack sunlight.

In fact, this is a big misunderstanding in the cultivation of Pearl Bush. Pearl Bush is relatively shade-tolerant, but it does not essentially like darkness. It grows better in places with sufficient light.

When cultivating pearl bush, only thinning is done but not pruning.

Many woody plants need pruning to grow well, but Pearl Bush is a plant that is relatively resistant to pruning and has many branches, so when people prune Pearl Bush, they will thin it out and cut off the branches. However, thinning alone is not enough; branches that are too long also need to be shortened.

If you only thin out the branches without pruning them, it will affect the ornamental effect of the plant. If you do not cut off the remaining flowers after flowering, a lot of nutrients will be consumed. So it is best to combine thinning and pruning.

Cultivating pearl bush neglects water and fertilizer management

Many people think that Pearl Bush is the kind of plant that requires little to no management and does not require any worry, so when cultivating it, they do not pay much attention to water and fertilizer.

In fact, although Pearl Bush requires extensive management, it still needs to be watered and fertilized properly, otherwise the plant will grow slowly, bloom less, and have weak resistance and be prone to diseases and pests.

Ignoring pest control in cultivating pearl bush

Many times, Pearl Bush is not prone to diseases and pests, so everyone thinks that Pearl Bush has strong resistance to diseases and pests and just ignores it. In fact, disease and pest control of pearl bush is very important. Only by doing a good job of prevention and control can it be healthy and free from diseases and pests. Otherwise, it is still very easy to be attacked.
