Syringa palibin is a plant that is native to China and Korea. It is a deciduous shrub that typically grows to 6-8 feet tall and wide. The leaves are ovate to elliptical in shape and are dark green in color. The flowers are pinkish-purple in color and are borne in clusters of 3-5 blooms. The flowers are followed by small, spherical fruits that are black in color.

About soil condition, the syringa palibin prefers rich, moist, well-drained soils in full sun to partial shade. It does not tolerate wet soils. It also prefers a neutral to slightly alkaline soil (pH 6.7 to 7.5).
Like the other lilacs, Palibin prefers full sun but will tolerate partial shade, particularly in hot summer climates. It grows readily in average, well-drained soils and doesn't mind being a bit on the dry side. Be sure to give it plenty of room to spread out and mature, as it doesn't tolerate crowding well. Once established, it's quite drought tolerant.
The temperature conditions that are best for syringa palibin plants are those that are cool and moist. They should not be too hot or too dry. The ideal temperature range for these plants is between 45 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
Ideal humidity condition for this plant is 40-60%. The plant will not do well in too humid or too dry air. If the air is too dry, the leaves will drop and the plant will go into dormancy. If the air is too humid, the plant will be susceptible to fungal diseases.
About fertilizer, this family of plant doesn't seem to be too needy. I use organic compost and that seems to work just fine. I would focus more on the roots of the plant. They like moisture but not to soggy. I would check to make sure the roots are not water logged. If they are, you might see some yellowing of the leaves.
Pruning is essential to the health and beauty of syringa palibin. It encourages new growth, removes diseased or damaged branches, and maintains the desired shape of the plant. The best time to prune is in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins.
Propagation is best done by rooting softwood cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Choose a young, healthy shoot and cut it back by about two-thirds. Strip off the lower leaves, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant in a pot of moistened perlite or sand. Keep the cutting warm and humid by placing it in a plastic bag with a few holes punched in it. The cutting should root in four to six weeks. Once it has rooted, transplant to a larger pot and water well.
Usually, the plant growth rate is attributed to their water uptake. They typically grow 1 to 2 inches per week during the spring and summer. With proper irrigation, these numbers can be even higher. However, in late summer and early fall, the growth rate drops off considerably. This is to be expected, as the plant is preparing for the winter months.
Common problems for this kind of plant plants include powdery mildew, leaf spot, and bud blight. These problems can be caused by various fungal pathogens, including powdery mildew fungi, leaf spot fungi, and bud blight fungi. In order to prevent these problems, it is important to choose resistant varieties of syringa palibin plants, and to avoid overhead watering.
