Top Tip
Ligustrum responds well to pruning. Regular trimming helps maintain a compact, dense shape and encourages fuller growth.
How to Water
Water Ligustrum regularly, especially during dry periods. Ensure the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Once established, they are fairly drought-tolerant but benefit from consistent moisture for optimal growth.
How to Plant
Plant in well-drained soil, in a spot with full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and add mulch to conserve moisture and control weeds.
