During the winter months we can cover a portion of the soil near the roots with dry leaves or other mulch tissue; in this manner we will protect the plant from the harsh climate. The Skimmia japonica is a plant which can be grown in the garden year round.For a balanced development of the the Skimmia japonica , let's choose a partially shaded place, where it can enjoy direct sunlight only during the coolest hours of the day.
Irrigation Skimmia japonica
Concerning those specimens grown in vases, let's remember that usually they need more watering, compared to the same shrubs placed in the ground. Moreover, they are often more sensible to temperatures, either very high or very low, and to radical apparatus diseases. These plants favour quite regular watering, usually 1-2 buckets of water ; we advise in any case to irrigate every 2-3 weeks , when the soil is dry.
Feed Skimmia japonica
Let’s remember to fertilize our shrubs often; we can fertilize enriching our soil with manure, at the end of the winter; or we can give it a fertilizer for flowering plants, every 20-25 days, when watering. If the shrubs are large or cover a large area, we can use a slow release granular fertilizer, to be used every 3-4 months. In the spring let’s favour fertilizers rich in nitrogen and potassium, to favour the development of a new vegetation and of flowerings.

Adversity Skimmia 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.
Substrate Skimmia japonica
These shrubs need to be cultivated in a quite drained, specific soil for acidophilic plants.

Cultivate Skimmia japonica
These plants produce fruits; for a balanced development of the plants and to avoid chlorosis from developing, it’s best to use a soil for acidophilic plants. The indications given in this article are related to a medium size plant.
