照顧指南
Grow in well-drained soil in full sun. May suffer foliage damage and stem dieback in harsh winters in cold gardens. Saplings should flower in three years.
Minimal pruning required. Pruning group 1 or pruning group 13 if wall-trained. Prune wayward or crossing branches to maintain a healthy framework when dormant.
Root semi-ripe cuttings with bottom heat in summer. Propagate by seed: collect seeds from pea-like pods and soften their coats in very hot water, leave to cool for 24 hours and sow. After germination transplant into root trainers to avoid disturbing tap roots.
Generally pest-free but may be susceptible to red spider mite and glasshouse whitefly if grown under glass. May be susceptible to verticillium wilt and honey fungus

觀葉灌木的四季色彩:當葉子比花朵更長情
有一種美,開了就謝,燦爛而短暫,讓人追著它的腳步,年年期盼,年年失落。還有另一種美,不聲張,不依賴某個短暫的高潮,而是整年、整年地在那裡——晨霧中深綠的光澤,雨後葉片上積聚的水珠,夏日強光下那一層油亮的反光,冬季冷鋒掠過後葉緣染上的銅褐。這種美,叫做「觀葉」,是一種耐讀的美,越接近,越值得。

銀葉植物的灰藍詩篇:在綠色的世界裡,閃著另一種光
綠是植物的基調,這幾乎是所有人的預設。走進一個花圃,你的眼睛會自動地讀取綠色作為背景,讓花朵的顏色從中浮現。但有時候,就在那片理所當然的綠色之中,忽然出現了一個不同的頻率——銀的、灰的、帶著藍調的霧霧白——你的視線會不由自主地被那個異質的光吸引,停下來,重新組織對整個畫面的感受。

斑葉植物的光影魔法
光是最偉大的畫家,而某些植物,早在人類發明繪畫之前,便已讓葉片成為了光的劇場。斑葉植物的世界,是一場永不落幕的色彩表演。不靠花朵,只憑葉片上那些不規則的斑紋、鑲邊、暈染與金屬光澤,它們便已能讓一個房間從平凡轉變為迷人。
