Mahonia bealei aka Beale's Barberry

Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can successfully care for Beale's Barberry due to its easy-going nature.

Beale's Barberry’s native range is E. Asia - W. China in Hupeh, Hubei, Sichuan and Taiwan.

Beale's Barberry should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Beale's Barberry 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.

The growth of Beale's Barberry is not rapid and it doesn't necessitate any extra fertilization. By replacing its potting soil once a year, it should receive ample nutrition. It is important to note that plants obtain their energy from the sun's rays, not from fertilizers.

Ploi's records do not contain confirmed information on the toxicity of this particular plant. In the event of accidental ingestion of plant material with questionable toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.

Beale's Barberry grows vertically and new growth emerges from the top of the plant.
