Planting a

Plant Pieris japonica in well-drained, acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. If your soil is not naturally acidic, you can lower the pH by amending it with peat moss or compost. Dig a hole that is slightly wider and as deep as the plant's root ball. Carefully remove the plant from its container and loosen the roots before placing it in the hole. Backfill with soil and gently press down to remove air pockets. After planting, water thoroughly and apply a layer of organic mulch, such as bark chips or pine needles, around the base to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the establishment period, watering deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as pieris is prone to root rot in waterlogged soil.
