Water: Moist soil enhances laurustinus 'Lisarose' vitality, while insufficient water diminishes its ornamental value and flower quality. During transplanting, continuous irrigation for 3-4 weeks is crucial. In hot conditions, 7-8 mm of water weekly suffices, but excessive moisture can lead to root rot and die-off.

Fertilize: Organic fertilizer enhances soil structure, organic matter, and fertility, essential for laurustinus 'Lisarose' growth. Apply basal fertilizer during transplanting and biweekly during active growth. Fertilize before dormancy or leaf drop, avoiding soft cuttings until sprouting. Use nitrogen-rich fertilizer initially, shifting to high phosphorus during flowering.

Pruning: Laurustinus 'Lisarose', an evergreen shrub, thrives with pruning in early to late winter. Focus on dead branch removal to maintain shape and health. Light trimming post-flowering encourages new blooms. Regular pruning enhances airflow, reducing disease risk, while ensuring a dense, bushy appearance.

Propagation: Planting laurustinus 'Lisarose' from seeds is discouraged as it takes 12-18 months. Instead, use soft cuttings with 2 nodes each. Mix 1/3 organic matter with 2/3 soil, plant the cuttings, and water immediately after settling to maintain proper moisture.
