Holly in North America usually has a certain degree of cold tolerance, alias Ilex verticillata, which is native to North America. It likes both warm and humid environment and fertile and loose soil (slightly acidic to neutral). Although it has strong moisture resistance, it is not resistant to continuous drought. It is often found in some low-lying areas, such as swamps, wet shrub areas and ponds, but sometimes it grows in relatively dry transition areas and mountainous areas. It should be noted that although Ilex North America has semi-shade tolerance, if it is a cultivated variety, providing it with a full-light living environment will generally make it blossom and bear fruit better.
