Jun 15, 2022 · So, how much sunlight does Erica Heather need? The answer depends on a few different factors. In general, these plants prefer full sun or partial shade. This means that they should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day but no more than 8 hours. If they receive too much sun, their leaves can become scorched and damaged.
Most need acidic soil, preferably free-draining and sandy, in full sun. Winter-flowering cultivars will tolerate neutral or alkaline soils. For growing in containers, use ericaceous (acidic) compost with added lime-free grit to improve drainage.
Mar 5, 2023 · As a general rule of thumb, most Erica plants need at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. The amount of sunlight that Erica plants require will depend on various factors such as climate, soil conditions, and the time of year.
