• Sun Exposure: Plant 'Little Heath' in a location that receives partial to full shade, protecting it from harsh afternoon sunlight. While it can tolerate some morning sun, it prefers dappled shade or filtered light for optimal growth and foliage coloration.

• Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants in spring before new growth emerges. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it can lead to nutrient imbalances and foliage burn.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as shredded bark or pine needles, around the base of 'Little Heath' to conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
