1
Tip of the Week
Young Ericas need to be lightly sheared over in late spring to keep them bushy and compact. Old unpruned Ericas,often get bare from the center. How to regenerate? There are two good methods.
(1) During late spring, dig up that old plant, take out a new hole,twice as deep as the old one.Tie the branches together and replant your Erica deep enough to cover up the old , bare stems. The old buried bare stems develop roots and the plant grows afresh.
(2) The other method is that, again in Spring, you make up a mix of peat and soil and fill up the bare centre of the plant.Place a brick on the mound and water the plant during dry spells. The following spring you will find that the bare middle of the plant has rooted into the compost/soil mixture. The old Erica is now basically several new young plants , which you can sever and plant out in your heather garden.
