These plants have a sapling deportment, with a short stem with a small roundish crown. The Canarybird-bush has a shrub- like development. Fertilization Canarybird-bush
Shrubs develop new shoots and prepare their flowers during the spring period, therefore we must remember, by the end of the winter, to give it a good dose of humus or mature manure, or granular slow release fertilizer, to be added to the soil at the foot of the plant. During the spring we can choose a fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium, to mix with the irrigating water, every 20-25 days. Exposure Canarybird-bushSole pieno
These plants don't like cold weather, therefore in the Spring it is best to set them outside only when the temperatures are above 15°C. The Canarybird-bush should be grown in a bright place, with direct sunlight.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.

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.
