Planting & Care
1. Planting: In the landscape, plant in well-draining soil in a partially shaded area, ensuring to water regularly to maintain soil moisture and promote healthy growth.
When you're repotting or planting, select a container that's twice the width of the shipped container and one that has drainage holes.
2. Watering: Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between watering sessions to prevent overwatering and root rot.
3. Fertilizing: Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during growing season according to package instructions.
