4 care and maintenance tips

Light and wind

Avoid direct sunlight and ideally give the plant a spot in the semi-shade. Make sure the ‘Spider’ is not exposed to cold northerly and easterly winds.

Water

This plant thrives when given sufficient water. Do not overdo it and make sure you do not flood the Spider. Avoid using calcareous tap water. If you are putting the Spider indoors, carefully submerge the planter.

Soil

The Pink Spider® likes acidic soil. Which is we advise against using calcareous water, as calcium reduces the acidity.

Pruning

To see your Azalea Japonica ‘Pink Spider®’ return to its full resplendent glory next year, it is advisable to deadhead the plant after flowering.
