Monthly care guide
Guidance to adapt to your plant and conditions, not a fixed watering schedule.
◉ Water 1
Water Arabian Lilac
Water deeply when the top 2 cm of soil is dry. Let the soil breathe between sessions.
Sandy UAE soils drain fast — deep, spaced watering prevents both stress and root rot.

❧ Feed 1
Feed Arabian Lilac
Spread balanced NPK around the root zone and water in. Mulch over the top.
Spring & autumn are the two big growth surges in UAE — feed timed for them returns the most leaf and bloom.

✂ Prune 1
Renewal prune Arabian Lilac
Cut back leggy growth by up to a third. Remove summer dieback fully.
