**Evergreen or Semi-Evergreen Shrubs**
This shrub is low-growing, typically reaching less than 1 meter in height. It features dense, compact branching and has a bushy appearance. The young twigs are green with fine hairs and emit a noticeable scent when rubbed. The older stems are brown, marked by visible wrinkles, while the new growth is tall, straight, and green. The leaves are arranged opposite or in clusters along the branchlets, and they are oblong or oblong-lanceolate in shape, measuring approximately 0.7 to 1.5 cm in length. The leaf margins are entire, with no serrations.
The flowers are small, white, and sometimes tinged with red or pale purple. They appear singly or in clusters at the tips of the branchlets, forming a funnel-shaped corolla. Each flower is about 7 mm long, with a thick, leathery texture, dark green, and shiny surface. The corolla is covered in fine hairs, and the sepals are green, slightly split at the edges, and have a firm structure. The fruit is a small, nearly spherical stone fruit. The flowering period usually occurs between June and July.
Common cultivars include 'Phnom Penh' and 'June Snow', known for their golden yellow foliage. The 'June Snow' variety is especially admired for its striking appearance during late spring and early summer.
**Care Instructions**
During the hot and dry summer months, it's important to water the plant daily. In addition, mist the leaves and surrounding soil in the morning and evening to help lower temperatures and increase humidity. Place the plant in a shaded area, avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
After the fall season, as temperatures decrease, gradually reduce the frequency of watering. Water every two to three days. If kept indoors during winter in a room where temperatures stay above 0°C, water every 20 to 30 days. If the indoor temperature remains above 15°C, the plant will remain evergreen, and you can water every 7 to 10 days. Ensure the air stays moist and provide adequate sunlight. Avoid freezing conditions, as this can be fatal to the plant. Before moving the plant outdoors in March each year, repot it using well-draining soil mixed with compost.
**Pest and Disease Management**
This plant is generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, occasional infestations of locusts may occur. These can be controlled by spraying a 1500-fold dilution of omethoate.
**Home Care Tips**
The main tasks in caring for this plant are proper watering and fertilizing. Water only when necessary—avoid overwatering, as soggy soil can lead to root rot. When fertilizing, use a diluted liquid fertilizer, and avoid applying it during the summer or during flowering to prevent excessive growth. Prune shoots from May to June, and remove new growth in July to maintain shape.
When growing in pots, keep the plant in a fixed location and avoid moving it frequently. For 'June Snow', ensure it receives sufficient light. During hot summer days, provide shade and mist the leaves once or twice daily to maintain humidity. In winter, protect the plant with straw if temperatures drop near -10°C to prevent freezing.
Common pests on 'June Snow' include scale insects. These can be managed by spraying a 1000- to 1500-fold solution of either 40% omethoate or 25% imithiophos. Regular monitoring and timely treatment are essential for maintaining healthy growth.
