Water: Beautiful deutzia thrives in moderate hydration, preferring slightly moist soil without waterlogging. Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing topsoil to dry. Adjust watering frequency with seasonal changes to support natural growth patterns and ensure proper hydration during its active growth period.

Fertilize: Beautiful deutzia requires a balanced fertilizer biannually in spring and autumn to promote healthy growth. Use gradual release formulas and adjust feeding during active growth. Water before fertilizing, reduce in winter, and exercise safety when handling fertilizers.

Pruning: Beautiful deutzia features cascading white flowers and dense foliage. Prune in early spring by removing dead stems and cutting older ones to ground level to promote new growth and flowering. Thinning enhances air circulation, reducing disease risk. Avoid pruning after bud formation to prevent flower loss.

Propagation: Beautiful deutzia can be propagated using semi-hardwood cuttings from healthy shrubs, ensuring the shoot has multiple leaf nodes. Use rooting hormone and plant in well-draining soil. Cover with plastic for humidity; rooting takes a few weeks before transplanting to a permanent location.
