Care Guide
💧 Water
☀️ Light Full sun
The Chinese peashrub is a plant that flourishes when exposed to ample sunlight. This preference stems from its native habitat that lacks shade. Sunlight is crucial for its development from seedling to fully grown plant. The absence of enough light can hinder its growth, while too much can lead to leaf burn.
🌡️ Temperature 5–35°C
The Chinese peashrub is native to temperate climates, thriving in temperatures ranging from 41 to 95 °F (5 to 35 ℃). To replicate its natural habitat, try to keep this temperature range as much as possible throughout the seasons, making adjustments in times of severe temperature shifts.
