Ensure Male Skimmia receives partial to full shade to thrive, as direct sunlight can scorch its leaves. Plant in well-draining, acidic soil enriched with organic matter to promote healthy growth. Maintain consistent moisture levels, especially during dry spells, to prevent stress. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to support vibrant foliage and blooms.
