GENERAL INFORMATION

• Mahonia fortunei is grown as an ornamental plant in gardens. It has greyish/green leaves and yellow flowers. The fruits attract birds. It does not tend to have pests, and it is heat-tolerant.
• It makes an adequate hedge and it can be confined to a container for use as a houseplant.
• These plants are perfect for a beginner gardener because they're very easy to grow outdoors.

SOIL REQUIREMENT

• Mahonia fortunei prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil (6.0-6.5 pH). It can grow in all soil types (sandy, loamy and clay), but you should add certain amendments. If you are planting in quick-draining soil, mix in some peat moss or compost to improve drainage. Organic compost can also improve the acidity of your soil.
• When growing as a potted plant, use loose, well-drained potting mix—loamy soil amended with peat moss is ideal.
