Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a well-draining location that receives full sun to partial shade for optimum growth. Ensure adequate space around the plant for airflow and future growth.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water the plant deeply once a week, adjusting during dry spells to ensure healthy root development.
3. Pruning: Light pruning can be done in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can affect the plant's natural form.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth. Follow package instructions for the appropriate amount, as over-fertilizing can harm the plant.
