Water
Topiaries require daily watering in Spring, Summer, and Fall months, and a minimum of 3-4 times per week in the Winter months. Over or under-watering will result in the browning of leaves and die-back of branches. Re-pot topiaries into larger containers, using moisture control soil mixtures, in order to reduce potential damage from lack of water is recommended.

Sun
Topiaries are for outdoor use only, preferring full to partial sun, and requiring a minimum of 4-5 hours of direct sunlight each day. Pom Pon will defoliate if brought inside or planted in the shade.

Temperatures
Eugenia topiaries are recommended for Zones 9-11. Topiaries should be sheltered or covered when temperatures are expected to drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fertilization
Fertilize at least three to four times a year with a complete formula, e.g. 13-13-13 or 18-6-8. Keep in mind that different fertilizers may be more soluble, or “hotter” than others, potentially damaging roots. Always test new fertilizers by initially applying lower rates in order to determine the plant’s tolerance to the brand of fertilizer used.

|
Spacing
Proper spacing should allow for sufficient light and airflow around plants. Leaves should not touch other plants or objects. Inadequate spacing may cause disease and leaf drop either due to insufficient light or due to leaves remaining too wet as a result of improper airflow around the plant.
