🌿 The guide to caring for the og harok – a strong, economical and impressive Israeli wild shrub

Og Haruk is a wild shrub from the Asteraceae family, which grows in the Israeli wild and brings with it a wild appearance, exceptional resistance to dry conditions, and a perfect fit for natural gardens and sustainable gardening.
It is especially suitable for those looking for a plant that can "manage itself" – without much watering, without regular fertilization, and with zero requirements.


☀️ Light and watering conditions – what is important to know?

🔆 Light:
It likes full sun , but will also do well in partial shade. The more light it receives, the denser and neater the bush will grow.

💧 Irrigation according to the seasons:

season Recommended frequency
Spring–Summer (First Year) Watering once a week – deep and thorough
After establishment Watering only once every 2–3 weeks
winter Usually not necessary – depends on rainfall

🧪 Og Haruk is sensitive to excess water. Plant it in well-drained soil – and it will do almost everything on its own!


✂️ Pruning and regular care

  • ✂️ Prune dry or messy branches in the spring , after the cold season.

  • If you want to shape it as a low shrub, regularly trim the edges.

  • If it is allowed to develop freely, it will reach a height of 1.5–2.5 meters.

🌱 There is no need to transfer to a new pot – it is mainly suitable for direct planting in open ground.


🧪 Fertilization and placement in the garden

🌿 Fertilization is not required – but adding natural compost in the spring can encourage faster growth.

📍 Ideal location:

  • Natural gardens in the style of Palestine

  • Rocks

  • Landscape restoration

  • Hedge / Boundary vegetation
