Soil Type
Water: Pachysandra thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers consistent moisture, akin to its forest canopy origins. Water every 1-2 weeks to maintain foliage. Typically grown as ground cover in shaded gardens, mulching retains moisture and mimics natural leaf litter.
Propagation: Propagation of pachysandra involves division and cuttings, thriving in dappled shade and consistently moist, acidic to neutral soil at 65-75°F (18-24°C). Careful division protects the delicate roots. Steps include digging, separating clumps, trimming roots, planting, watering, and maintaining moisture until established.
