The manuka plant, known for its medicinal honey, requires special care to flourish and thrive outdoors. Here are some key growing tips:
Sunlight: Place the plant in a sunny spot, preferably on the south side of the garden, where it will receive the most intense light for most of the day.
Soil: It requires well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH that doesn’t become waterlogged.
Watering: Maintain moderate watering, avoiding overwatering and ensuring the substrate dries between waterings.
Fertilization: Apply fertilizer during the growing season, between spring and autumn, and avoid doing so during the winter months.
Temperature: Protect the plant from extreme frost and keep it in a cool environment with temperatures between 7 and 9 degrees.

This care will ensure that the manuka plant flourishes and remains in optimal condition so you can enjoy its beauty and benefits.
