The scientific name of June snow is broken leaf holly. From June to July, the florets are white and covered with branches, like a layer of snowflakes, hence the name June snow. Originated in Jiangnan provinces in China, like sunshine, but also more shady, the temperature requirements are not strict, with the winter temperature to adjust their own growth habits. If it is evergreen in winter in the subtropical region of South China, it can continue to grow; in the warm temperate zone in the south of the Yangtze River, it enters a semi-dormant state in winter and the growth stops. It has no special requirements for soil, has strong drought resistance, and grows rapidly in wet acid soil.

It is difficult to bear fruit after snowflakes in June, but two-year-old hardwood cuttings can be collected in March-April, or one-year-old softwood cuttings in June-July, with high survival rates. It is a traditional plant material for making tree stump bonsai. In order to make the bonsai look simple, it is best to dig perennial tree stumps and plant them in pots in the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River; you can also plant them separately with root tiller seedlings germinated around the old stump.

The snow in June is strong and adaptable, and it should be maintained in the sun in spring, summer and autumn. If it is furnished indoors, ventilation must be strengthened, otherwise the branches will grow too long, the leaves will turn yellow, and the lower leaves will fall off. Water should be sprayed frequently in the dry season to increase air humidity. In order to control the height of the plant, topdressing up to 2 times a year. If you do not continue to watch in winter, you can leave the fallen leaves dormant in the cold room and trim them once in spring next year to promote the sprouting of new branches and leaves. If you continue to furnish in winter, the room temperature should not be less than 8 degrees Celsius and should be fully exposed to light. The new lateral branches should be cut short and coring in time in order to maintain the plump and round plant shape.
