Hoheria populnea Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Grows in any good, well-drained soil[1]. Requires a position in full sun[182] or dappled shade[200], succeeding in acid or alkaline soils[182]. Plants grown in a soil that is overly rich produce a lot of sappy growth that is more susceptible to frost damage[200]. Withstands strong winds but is best if given protection from cold northeasterly winds[200]. Another report says that it requires a position sheltered from strong winds[125]. Prefers a moist atmosphere[125]. Prefers a maritime climate[200]. Plants grow best in an open clearing in a woodland garden[200]. A very ornamental plant[1], it is only hardy in the milder areas of the country[1, 11, 49], tolerating temperatures down to about -10°c[182]. Plants are prone to damage at temperatures lower than -5°c[200]. A very variable plant[11], leaves of young plants are often deeply lobed but on older plants they are more or less entire and toothed[126, 182]. Juvenile plants also have a compact shrubby habit, quite unlike the mature plant[200]. There are some named forms selected for their ornamental value[219]. Plants are subject to attacks by the coral-spot fungus, especially after cool wet summers[126]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200]. A good butterfly plant[200].
