Care Guide for Deutzia

Every 1-2 weeks

Water

Water: Deutzia thrives in well-drained soil and prefers consistent moisture but can adapt to infrequent watering. Watering every 1-2 weeks maintains its health. Typically grown outdoors, it benefits from natural rainfall during active development, supporting its growth cycles effectively.

Propagation: Deutzia can be propagated through semi-hardwood or softwood cuttings and seeds. Success relies on warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Cuttings, ideally taken in late spring or summer, require patience and indirect light, with rooting possible in 4-8 weeks.
