Difficulty
With a bit of knowledge and dedication, you can successfully care for Kumson Forsythia, making it a rewarding choice for those seeking a moderate challenge.
Water
Kumson Forsythia should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil
Kumson Forsythia loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.
Lighting
Kumson Forsythia requires abundant, bright and direct light. Placing it less than one foot from a window is the best way to make sure the plant receives enough light to survive and thrive. Depending on your region, however, the current weather can affect the placement of the plant in your home. For example, in some areas the sun may be too direct and intense, so it's best to place it farther away from the window. You may also need to adjust your placement according to the season as the sunlight can change intensity over the course of the year. If you live in a region with significant temperature fluctuations, such as a desert, you may need to place the plant a bit farther away from the window to avoid extreme heat or cold. With some care and attention, your Kumson Forsythia will be sure to bring you many years of beauty and enjoyment.
Dormancy
During the wintertime, it is common for Kumson Forsythia plants to go dormant and their growth rate may slow down. Therefore, the amount of waterings should be spaced out more.
