How To Plant Honey Maid Holly
Honey Maid grows in full sun, but does love getting a break in the shade often. These hollies prefer moderately moist well-draining soil, but is adaptable to most soil types.
How To Water
Water twice weekly for the first 3-5 weeks: then water weekly for the remainder of the year until winter. When you water, water very slowly and very thoroughly. The water needs to reach to the bottom of the root ball and that takes time. Watering needs may be altered due to extreme weather conditions.
How To Fertilize
Incorporate Elements Starter Plant Food granular form into the soil when planting. If planting in spring or summer start fertilizing late fall using Elements Starter Plant Food granular form on an annual basis each year. Continue this for three years to get your plant well established.
How To Prune
Pruning this plant is not a necessity. If you choose to prune your holly, it is best to prune during the spring before new growth emerges. Remove any dead and diseased branches throughout the year.
