Holly likes warmth and is generally distributed in tropical, subtropical to temperate regions. It is mainly grown in Central and South America and tropical Asia. It can be planted alone on the lawn, or in rows on both sides of gates, walls, and garden paths. It can be dwarfed and then made into bonsai and placed indoors.

Holly Growing Conditions

Holly likes a warm environment and is relatively cold-resistant. It is suitable for planting in fertile, moist, well-drained acidic soil. It is often distributed in mixed woods on hillsides at an altitude of 500-1000 meters. It is relatively tolerant to shade and humidity, has a strong growth ability, and is very resistant to pruning.

Holly Growth Temperature

Holly likes warmth and, generally speaking, can be kept at 15 to 28 degrees. It has very good cold resistance and no additional anti-cold measures are needed in winter.

The growth process of holly

Holly is an evergreen tree with green leaves all year round, giving people the feeling that they are all new leaves. It blooms from May to June and the fruits ripen from September to October.

Holly Planting Time and Method

There are usually two seasons for planting holly, early spring and late autumn. The temperature at this time is relatively low, the evaporation of water is relatively small, the damage to the plants is relatively small, and the survival rate of planting is higher.

Holly is suitable for planting in loose, fertile and well-drained soil. It can also grow well in general soil and has strong adaptability to the environment. The seedlings planted in the same year need to be watered thoroughly once, and then allowed to grow naturally. Depending on the situation, water them once every half a month. When carrying out inter-row cultivation and weeding, apply appropriate top dressing 1 to 2 times, generally applying dilute nitrogen fertilizer.
