Growing tips for Pittosporum tenuifolium Victoria
Plant Pittosporum tenuifolium Victoria in light, well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. Avoid poorly drained or waterlogged conditions, especially in winter. Plant in spring or autumn, spacing 70 to 100 cm apart for hedging. A position in full sun to partial shade will ensure dense, balanced growth and strong variegation. Water regularly during establishment, then moderately. Light pruning in spring will maintain shape. Mulch and apply organic compost annually to support healthy, vigorous growth.
