Maintenance:

To ensure the health and beauty of Physocarpus opulifolius 'Little Angel', follow these maintenance tips:

1. Light Requirements: Plant in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. 'Little Angel' thrives in at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal foliage coloration.

2. Soil Conditions: Well-draining soil is preferred. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage and fertility. 'Little Angel' is adaptable to various soil types.

3. Watering: Provide regular watering, especially during hot and dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist. Deep watering is recommended to encourage a robust root system. Mulching helps retain soil moisture.

4. Fertilization: Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring, following the package instructions for proper dosage and application. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it can lead to leggy growth.

5. Pruning: Prune 'Little Angel' in late winter or early spring to maintain its compact shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning after flowering can also promote bushier growth and enhance its overall appearance.

6. Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the shrub, leaving space around the stem to prevent rot. Mulching helps conserve soil moisture, suppress weed growth, and regulate soil temperature.
