Generalities Mock orange
The Mock orange has a shrub- like development. These plants have an erect development; in the lower part they usually show a bare stem, while towards the top they widen to form the crown. The Mock orange is medium in size and 3 m in height; in the summer it assumes a white colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year.

Exposure Mock orangeSole pieno
The Mock orange should be grown in a bright place, with direct sunlight. The Mock orange should be grown outdoors; it can bear very harsh temperatures without any problems, even many degrees below zero.To prevent damage caused by the cold temperatures, during the months with definately harsh minimum temperatures, we can protect the shrubs by covering the soil around the stem with straw or dry leaves.

Watering Mock orangeTenere asciutto
Water rarely, about once every 2-3 weeks with 1-2 buckets of water , keeping the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when wetting we suggest avoiding surpluses, however to wet the soil deep down. If we want to grow these plants in a vase, we should water them a bit more often, compared to plants cultivated in the ground; Every 2-3 years we should renew the substratum in the vase, or enrich with organic amender.

Treatments Mock orange
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Soil Mock orange
For these shrubs it’s necessary to choose a rich and deep substratum , which presents an excellent drainage.
