Care Guide

💧 Water
☀️ Light Full sun

Reeve's spiraea flourishes in environments that provide constant sun exposure all day. It can also adjust to places with incomplete sunshine. It comes from regions with plenty of sunlight. Too much decrease or increase in sunlight exposure could hamper its proper growth.

Ideal: Full sun
🌡️ Temperature 5–35°C

The reeve's spiraea naturally thrives in environments with moderate to warm temperatures ranging from 41 to 95 ℉ (5 to 35 ℃). It favors a temperate climate but can endure some cold. During spring, its ideal temperature range is 50 to 60 ℉ (10 to 15 ℃), and it can withstand temperatures dropping to 32 ℉ (0 ℃) if required.

🌱 Fertilizer

The timing for fertilizing Reeve's spiraea is critical. Applying fertilizer should begin in early spring and proceed monthly up to the start of summer. Its purpose is to encourage the production of beautiful blossoms and provide energy throughout both the resting and active growth stages.

🪴 Pot & Repot 2-3 years

When repotting Reeve's spiraea, pick a pot 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) larger with ample drainage. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring or fall, making sure the root ball sits slightly below the rim of the flower pot. Water thoroughly after repotting and place the plant in a warm spot with indirect sunlight.

Suggested frequency: 2-3 years
