Here are some general care guidelines for Dwarf Pink Bottlebrush:

  • Light: Dwarf Pink Bottlebrush prefers full sun to partial shade. It will tolerate some shade, but it will flower more heavily in a sunny location.

  • Pests and diseases: Dwarf Pink Bottlebrush is generally resistant to pests and diseases, but it can be prone to infestations of aphids and scale insects. These pests can be controlled with insecticides or by using natural control methods such as hosing the plant down with water or using neem oil.
