🌿 Podocarpus (Podocarpus macrophyllus) Care Tips

Also known as Japanese Yew or Buddhist Pine, Podocarpus is a versatile, slow-growing evergreen that can be shaped into hedges, topiaries, or small trees.

☀️ Light:

Grows well in full sun to partial shade. In hot climates, some afternoon shade is beneficial.

💧 Water:

Water regularly during the first year to establish roots. Once mature, it becomes moderately drought-tolerant. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings—avoid soggy conditions.

🌱 Soil:

Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Tolerates a range of soil types, including sandy or loamy.

🌡️ Temperature:

Thrives in USDA zones 7–11. Tolerates heat and mild frost but needs protection from severe cold.

🌿 Pruning:

Takes well to shaping—prune in spring or summer to maintain desired size or form. Can be trained as a hedge, screen, or bonsai.

🍃 Fertilizer:

Feed with a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring and midsummer for lush growth.

🪴 Container Use:

Suitable for pots or planters if provided with good drainage. Great for patios or as an indoor plant in bright indirect light.

⚠️ Notes:

Non-toxic and low-maintenance, making it a popular landscaping choice.

Let Podocarpus S bring sculptural greenery and enduring style to your botanical space.
