Soil Type
Water: Abelia thrives in moderate humidity and prefers evenly moist soil without waterlogging. Regular weekly watering maintains its needs. As an ornamental shrub, mulching helps retain moisture and reduces watering frequency during the active growing season.
Propagation: Propagation of abelia involves taking 4-6 inch semi-hardwood cuttings, ideally in late summer. Ensure humidity, warmth (70-75°F), and bright, indirect light with well-draining soil. Use rooting hormone, keep cuttings moist (not waterlogged), and manage rot risk for successful root development.
