Cultivation Advice

The Chinese lilac ‘Red Pixie’ appreciates a sunny position, which is essential for abundant, colourful flowering. It can tolerate part shade, but this may reduce the number of flowers. In summer, when it is very hot, it is best to give it a little shade at the hottest times of the day to avoid excessive water stress. In winter, although resistant to the cold, it is advisable to protect it from severe frosts, in particular by placing it under cover or in a cold greenhouse.

Water regularly but sparingly. The substrate should be kept slightly moist, but not soaking wet, as excess water can cause root rot. In summer, when temperatures rise, it is important to water more frequently. In winter, on the other hand, watering can be reduced depending on the weather.

Re-potting should be carried out every 2 to 3 years, preferably in early spring, just before the tree starts to grow again. This operation renews the substrate and prunes the roots to maintain a good balance between the above-ground and underground parts of the tree. In the nursery, we use agricultural compost made up of black peat, blond peat, bark, topsoil, horse manure and pozzolan. You can adapt your substrate by mixing 50% akadama/pumice and 50% compost.

Structural pruning, which shapes the tree and defines its appearance, is carried out in winter, outside the flowering period. To maintain a harmonious silhouette and avoid over-vigorous growth, it is advisable to carry out maintenance pruning after flowering. Regular pruning of new shoots will encourage fine, dense branching. It is also important to remove spent flowers to encourage a second bloom at the end of the summer.

In the nursery, we use NPK 12 12 17 blue fertiliser for tomatoes and flowers. You can use it and put a handful (small or large depending on the size of the pot) on the substrate from May to October, every 2 months, alternating chemical/organic.
