Water
Water regularly during dry periods, especially when young. Allow the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings once established. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.
Deep watering encourages a more robust root system.
Waterer's Cotoneaster (Cotoneaster × watereri) is a vigorous evergreen shrub known for its abundant white flowers in spring and bright red berries in autumn.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during dry periods, especially when young. Allow the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings once established. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.
Deep watering encourages a more robust root system.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to shape the plant, remove dead or diseased branches, and encourage a denser habit. Light pruning can also be done after flowering to maintain size and form.
Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining potting mix, keeping them moist and in a warm, humid environment.
Can also be grown from seed, but may not come true to type.
Young plants may benefit from repotting every 2-3 years into a slightly larger container. Use a well-draining compost. Mature plants are generally best left undisturbed and do not require frequent repotting.
