This is often a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. Check the pot to ensure water is not pooling at the base.
Ensure the plant is receiving sufficient sunlight. Apply an annual light prune to stimulate bushier, denser growth.
Upon arrival, ensure your holly is placed in a spot that receives full sun to partial shade. If keeping it in the provided hessian-wrapped pot, ensure the container has adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging. For long-term growth in a pot, use a high-quality, free-draining potting compost and feed annually with a balanced slow-release fertilizer during the spring. Maintenance is straightforward: perform an annual trim in mid-to-late summer to maintain the dense, spherical shape of the foliage head. If planting in the ground, ensure the soil is fertile and well-drained, and water regularly during the first year until the root system is fully established.
