Different shrubs require different amounts of light. Some prefer full sun, while others prefer partial shade. Make sure to check the specific requirements for each shrub before planting.

Most shrubs prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. If your soil is heavy clay, you may need to amend it with compost or other organic matter to improve drainage.

Most shrubs prefer to be kept consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Make sure to water deeply, but less frequently, rather than shallowly and frequently. This will encourage the roots to grow deep and strong.

Shrubs typically benefit from regular fertilization during the growing season. Use a balanced fertilizer that is appropriate for your specific shrub, and follow the instructions carefully.

Regular pruning is important for maintaining the health and shape of your shrubs. Different shrubs require different pruning techniques, so be sure to research the specific requirements for each shrub.

Keep an eye out for any signs of pests or disease, and address them promptly to prevent further damage. Some common pests that can affect shrubs include aphids, spider mites, and scale insects. Diseases that can affect shrubs include powdery mildew and leaf spot.
