How to Plant Desfontainia?
The genus desfontainia comprises evergreen shrubs that flourish in well-drained, acidic soil, rich in organic matter. They demand a partially shaded environment with indirect light, where they can be protected from intense midday sun. Consistent moisture is vital, without waterlogging the roots. To plant, dig holes twice the size of the root ball, spaced properly to accommodate growth. Gently place the plants and backfill, watering thoroughly. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and temperature. It's key to note specific species requirements within the genus for optimal care.
