🌿 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.
