How to keep the Nandina plant green
While it prefers a humid growing environment, it also fears waterlogged soil, especially in poor ventilation conditions, which can easily lead to root rot, leaf drop, and yellowing leaves. Therefore, don’t water the plant if the soil is not dry.
Sometimes, even a slightly dry state is fine. Don’t water it at every opportunity. Water when it’s a bit dry, and in the summer, you can water more, but the soil should not be too compact.
After watering, the soil should not become muddy. It’s best to mix the soil with decomposed leaf soil, sandy loam, and garden soil, which is fertile, loose, well-aerated, and good at drainage, preventing waterlogging.
In winter, it’s important to water less. Drier soil is easier to survive the winter. And while watering, there is another very important point: it should be kept in a well-ventilated area.
In winter, avoid cold winds, but normally, it’s important to open the windows for ventilation, allowing fresh air and good air circulation, which will help the plant grow stronger and more lush.
