It develops a dense, rounded form and can become a small tree when allowed to grow naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"x7amdea\"\u003eTemperature \u0026amp; Humidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pistacia lentiscus is very well adapted to Mediterranean climates. It tolerates high temperatures, dry conditions and coastal environments once established. It is also moderately tolerant of cold but should be protected from prolonged severe frost. It does not require high humidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"x7amdea\"\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e The mastic tree grows best in full sun. Several hours of direct sunlight each day encourage dense growth and healthy foliage. It can tolerate partial shade, although growth may become less compact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"x7amdea\"\u003eThe Soil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pistacia lentiscus is adaptable to a variety of soil types but performs best in well-draining, relatively poor to moderately fertile soil. It can tolerate sandy, rocky and calcareous soils and is well suited to dry Mediterranean landscapes. Good drainage is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"x7amdea\"\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water regularly during the first growing season to help the plant establish a strong root system. Once established, Pistacia lentiscus is highly drought tolerant and requires little supplemental watering. During prolonged periods of extreme heat and drought, occasional deep watering can be beneficial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"x7amdea\"\u003eFertilizer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fertilization is generally not necessary once the plant is established, particularly when grown in suitable Mediterranean soil. If grown in containers or very poor soil, a balanced slow-release fertilizer can be applied in spring. Avoid excessive fertilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"x7amdea\"\u003eReproduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pistacia lentiscus can be propagated from seeds or semi-hardwood cuttings. Seed propagation is possible but can be slow and may produce plants with different characteristics. Cuttings are commonly used when maintaining the characteristics of a selected parent plant is important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"x7amdea\"\u003eTransfer:\u003c\/strong\u003e When grown in containers, repot Pistacia lentiscus when the roots become crowded, generally every two to three years. Use a container with large drainage holes and a well-draining growing medium. Avoid excessively large containers that may retain unnecessary moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"x7amdea\"\u003eFeatures of Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e One of the great things about Pistacia lentiscus is its excellent adaptability to hot, dry Mediterranean conditions. Its small, glossy evergreen leaves create dense, attractive foliage throughout the year. It is particularly suitable for gardens, hedges, borders, containers and coastal landscapes, and can be shaped through pruning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"x7amdea\"\u003eDifficulties:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pistacia lentiscus is generally a hardy and low-maintenance plant. The most common problems are related to excessive watering and poor drainage, which can lead to root damage. Pests such as scale insects or aphids may occasionally appear, particularly on stressed plants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cybloom","offers":[{"title":"Small (20-30cm)","offer_id":61604235772238,"sku":null,"price":2.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium (40-60cm)","offer_id":61604235805006,"sku":null,"price":8.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/2416\/3643\/files\/Pistacialentiscus.jpg?v=1790066262","url":"https:\/\/cybloom.com\/products\/pistacia-lentiscus","provider":"cybloom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
