So, like the other Choisya species, the White Dazzler does best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially during the heat of the day. It's a good idea to protect young plants from too much sun until they're established. Once they're mature, they're quite drought tolerant.
The temperature condition that is most ideal for Choisya White Dazzler is one that is warm and sunny. This plant grows best in full sun to partial shade, so it is important to make sure that it gets plenty of sunlight each day. During the hottest months of the year, it is important to provide some protection from the afternoon sun to prevent the leaves from scorching.
Ideal humidity condition for this plant is 50-60%. However, the plant can tolerate a range of humidity levels, as long as it is not too extreme. If the humidity level is too low, the leaves will start to drop. If the humidity level is too high, the leaves will start to brown and drop.
The fertilizer, this type of plant needs, should be high in phosphorus. A general-purpose fertilizer with a ratio such as 10-10-10 or 8-8-8 is suitable. Apply the fertilizer around the base of the plant, taking care not to get any on the foliage, and water it in. If you're using a granular fertilizer, scratch it into the surface of the soil; if you're using a liquid fertilizer, add it to the watering can.
Pruning your Choisya White Dazzler will keep it looking its best and encourage new growth. Prune in early spring, before new growth begins. Cut back any dead or winter-damaged wood. Then, thin out the plant by removing any overcrowded or crossed branches. Finally, cut back the remaining branches by one-third to one-half their length.

The cuttings should be placed in a warm location that has indirect sunlight. The cuttings should be monitored and kept moist. After a few weeks, the cuttings should develop roots and can be transplanted into their own pots.
