Light Requirements: Prefers full sun to part shade. Silver Sheen thrives in bright light conditions and will develop the best foliage colour and density with ample sunlight.
Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once established, Silver Sheen is moderately drought-tolerant but benefits from regular watering.
Soil: Prefers well-draining soil. It can adapt to various soil types, including sandy and loamy soils. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring and summer to promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
Pruning: Prune to maintain the desired shape and size. Regular pruning helps to keep the plant dense and encourages new growth. The best time to prune is in late spring or early summer.
Temperature and Humidity: Prefers mild temperatures and moderate humidity. It can tolerate light frost but should be protected from severe cold.
