Water

Water: Enkianthus thrives in consistent moisture yet requires regular hydration without waterlogging. Weekly watering is ideal, balancing its need for moisture and tolerance for brief dry spells. As an outdoor plant, enkianthus is resilient during the growing season, efficiently using available water for foliage and blooms.

Propagation: Enkianthus propagation methods include seeds, semi-hardwood cuttings, and layering. Key factors are sufficient light, well-draining soil, and temperatures of 15-21°C (60-70°F). Layering is easiest; cuttings require specific steps and conditions, including high humidity and indirect light, for successful root establishment.
