Container culture of Hypericum inodorum

Hypericum x inodorum Mill.

Cultivation technology for Hypericum inodorum in containers, including propagation methods using hardwood cuttings, bush training techniques, and specific care requirements to maintain fruit ornamental value.

In the reference 10 varieties crop Tall tutsan, where this is mentioned in the description.

Propagation in nurseries is carried out using hardwood cuttings taken from the lower half of the shoots before bud break. After rooting, the cuttings are planted in groups of three into 0.5 L containers and are transplanted into 3 L pots in the spring. A critical agrotechnical practice for maintaining the plant's shape is heavy shoot pruning in early spring.

In the restricted volume of a container, the crop requires high-quality drainage, as waterlogging quickly leads to root rot. Unlike many other ornamental shrubs, Hypericum inodorum is sensitive to excess nitrogen fertilizers, which can cause stunted growth or the complete cessation of flowering. The plant is valued for its dual ornamental appeal, maintaining aesthetic attractiveness both during the flowering period and when forming fruit in the autumn.
