How to fertilize Chamelaucium Uncinatum
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Chamelaucium Uncinatum after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

from tubestock 3yrs ago, it's 5ft tall but VERY twiggy. flowers well yearly, but Im concerned how few leaves and spindly branches it has. I do cut it back each year, but should I be cutting WAY back almost to just a twig to encourage it to be more bushy? #GeraldtonWaxflower
