Pruning the dappled variegated

Twice a year - at the beginning and at the end of summer the plant needs good pruning. If it is not carried out, the lower branches are bare and the bush becomes unpresentable. In addition, one should notice the branches with monophonic leaves on time and get rid of them in time.

Planting a dappled green leaf

It is advisable to plant a young plant in early summer or spring so that during a warm period it can build a powerful root system that will allow you to survive the first winter without problems. But still the plant will have to wrap up before frost in non-woven material in the first year of life.

In the choice of a place for planting, the turf is completely uneducated - it will grow in the shade and in the sun, almost on any soil. The only thing that should be done is not to plant bushes near coniferous trees, as it does not tolerate such a neighborhood. The best option would be the design of the garden path by the deren, when tall trees grow in the background.

Diseases of the dappled variegated

And although, the plant is very hardy, and quite undemanding to nutrient and soil moisture, occasionally, it can be attacked by aphids or fungal disease due to stagnation of water. Methods to combat these scourges are the same as for other plants - treatment with chemical preparations against leaf-bearing pests and spraying with fungicides, as well as reducing soil moisture.
