How to grow gorse

1. Soil selection

It has strong adaptability and is not very demanding on soil. Ordinary sandy soil or wood ash can be used for potting.

2. Lighting

It likes light, so in spring and autumn, you can move it to a sunny place outdoors to facilitate its rapid growth. In winter, when the outdoor temperature is below 0°, you can move it to a bright place indoors to ensure that it can be exposed to light. The summer sun is very strong and should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

3. Water Management

If you grow it outdoors, you must pay attention to the accumulation of water in the pots during the rainy season. It is drought-resistant and does not like moisture, so it is not suitable to be watered frequently. Because its roots are very developed, when watering, try to water the sand thoroughly until the water seeps out.

4. Fertilizer application

Excessive fertilization will cause its leaves to enlarge and affect its ornamental value. It can be applied once during the new bud growth period to facilitate the rapid growth of its new buds, and once during the flowering period to help extend its flowering period and make the flowers open longer.

5. Regular pruning

After the flowers fade, short branches need to be pruned off, and dead and weak branches can be pruned on a daily basis.
