Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location that receives partial shade to full sun, with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and place the plant at the same depth it was in its container. Water well to help it settle into its new home.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water deeply during dry spells, ensuring the top few inches of soil dry out between waterings. Reduce frequency in winter months.
3. Pruning: To maintain shape and promote healthy growth, prune back any dead or yellowing leaves as needed. This helps improve air circulation and encourages new growth.
4. Fertilizing: Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Adjust dosage according to product instructions to avoid over-fertilization.
