Exposure Styrax japonicaSole pieno
The Styrax japonica plant can be grown in the garden throughout the whole year. It doesn't fear cold weather and it bears very harsh minimum temperatures. During the winter young plants could need a light protection from the wind or cold; when putting the very young specimens, with a thin stem, in shelter, we should provide them with a high stake to keep them erect.For a balanced development, it is best to position the The Styrax japonica in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight.

Generalities Styrax japonica
The Styrax japonica develops like a tree. Styrax japonica isn't an evergreen; during the summer it assumes a white colouring; the adult species are medium in size and reach 8 m in height. The Styrax japonica develops growing in height, and develops a bare stem, creating a thick crown.

Fertilization Styrax japonica
Trees tend to find a great part of nutrients in the soil, because their roots spread more than ten metres; in any case it is advisable to feed the soil with amendants, to guarantee a good quantity of mineral salts; every 2-3 years, in the spring or autumn, we suggest adding to the soil at the feet of the trunk, about a bucket of mature organic fertilizer.

Watering Styrax japonicaTenere Umido
We suggest watering pretty often and regularly, with 2-3 buckets of water ; we should always wait for the soil to be clearly dry between one watering and the other. During this time of year usually it is necessary to irrigate every 2-3 weeks . The young specimens, recently sheltered, need more cures compared to the adult specimens: as the years go by the development of a good radical apparatus allows the plant to be satisfied with the rain, without needing other waterings.

Treatments Styrax japonica
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Soil Styrax japonica
These trees prefer soils for acidophilic plants, which slightly withhold humidity.
