For sladenia , well-draining soil is essential, with a preference for acidic to neutral pH. Provide dappled light, avoiding direct intense sunlight. Maintain consistent moisture, ensuring adequate watering without letting the roots sit in water. To plant, dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, position the plant at the same depth it was in the pot, and backfill with soil. Press gently and water thoroughly. Avoiding deep shade and waterlogging is crucial for the health of sladenia species.
