Rhamnus saxatilis aka Rock Buckthorn

Rock Buckthorn’s native range is S.W. Europe.

Rock Buckthorn should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

To ensure optimal growth, the Rock Buckthorn prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

The Rock Buckthorn should be repotted either when it doubles in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing new potting soil with all the vital nutrients annually is enough to support the growth of the plant, and thus, there is no need for fertilizer. Remember that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
