How to care for it

Pyracantha should be kept outdoors all year round, in full sun: direct light is what ensures flowering and berry set. With a shallow 8 cm pot the substrate dries quickly, so from June to August it needs daily watering, soaking until water drains out, while in winter this is reduced to twice a week, always checking the surface.

Frequently asked questions

Is the plant I receive the one in the photo?

Yes, this is a one-of-a-kind specimen: the photo shows the exact plant that will be shipped. As it is a living plant, the foliage may look different on delivery due to natural growth, pruning, pinching or seasonal changes. The berries, in particular, follow the annual cycle.

How much space does it take up and how much does it weigh?

The oval pot measures 30 x 24 cm with a height of 8 cm, while the plant alone reaches 45 cm. The whole weighs 5.9 kg, so a sturdy shelf on a balcony, terrace or outdoor windowsill is needed. The width of the canopy, which extends beyond the rim of the pot, should also be taken into account.

Can it be kept indoors?

No. Pyracantha is an outdoor species and needs winter cold for its dormancy and direct sun to produce flowers and berries. Indoors it would drop its leaves and fail to fruit. In very windy areas we recommend a sheltered spot against a south-facing wall.
