GENERAL INFORMATION
- Mahonia fortunei is grown as an ornamental plant in gardens. It has greyish/green leaves and yellow flowers. The fruits attract birds. It does not tend to have pests, and it is heat-tolerant.

SOIL REQUIREMENT
- Mahonia fortunei prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil (6.0-6.5 pH). It can grow in all soil types (sandy, loamy and clay), but you should add certain amendments. If you are planting in quick-draining soil, mix in some peat moss or compost to improve drainage. Organic compost can also improve the acidity of your soil.
- When growing as a potted plant, use loose, well-drained potting mix—loamy soil amended with peat moss is ideal.

FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT

LIGHT REQUIREMENT
- Mahonia fortunei requires ample amounts of sunlight to maintain its brightly colored leaves with a minimum of 6-7 hours of direct sunlight

WATER REQUIREMENT
- Watering should be consistent but moderate, allowing the soil to dry out between sessions.
- Drainage is an important factor, and in a normally draining soil, you can water your chinese mahonia only when the top 5 cm of soil go dry.
