Watering Frequency: Every 1-2 weeks
Native to well-drained areas of Eastern North America, sourwood thrives in conditions that mimic its origin, with moderate moisture and a preference for slightly acidic soil. It exhibits a notable resilience to variations in water availability, making it relatively drought-tolerant. Watering should be done once every 1-2 weeks, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Given its outdoor growth habit, sourwood benefits from mulching to retain soil moisture during dry spells, particularly as it is an acid-loving species where consistent soil hydration helps maintain the desired pH levels.
