How do you grow steeplebush?
Steeplebush is intolerant of standing water and can't be planted on low-lying grounds. Transplant it in early spring and late fall, during its dormancy. Make a tree well 40 to 50 cm wide and 60 to 80 cm deep, and space plants 60 to 80 cm apart. Use either fully decomposed organic fertilizer or those with higher nitrogen and phosphorus content.
When transplanting, move root systems with surrounding soil. The bigger the plant is, the more soil should accompany the roots to raise its survival rate. After planting, cover with a layer of fine soil. Compact the soil and then water the plant. Water once every 7-10 days after the initial watering for 3 cycles, and then return to normal watering frequency as described below.
