Hi Tui, I have been given a Daphne Leucanthe and want to put it a pot. Could you please advise a pot size and the most suitable container mix to use? Many thanks.

Hi Murray,

Choosing a pot size depends on how big the root ball of your plant is. A good rule of thumb is to choose a pot twice the diameter of the root ball. We would suggest Tui Pot Power or Tui Outdoor Container Mix as they both contain a wetting agent to channel the water to the roots as well as water crystals to help retain soil moisture. Daphne enjoy a cool moist root run. There is also a 6 month controlled release fertiliser in both mixes. Another mix that would be suitable is Tui Superlight Potting Mix, which is a peat based mix, providing slightly acid soil conditions which Daphne enjoy.

Thanks, Tui Team
