Planting & Care
Plant in a container with well-draining potting soil or garden bed with excellent drainage, positioning the top of the root ball level with the soil surface. Water regularly to maintain evenly moist soil during the growing season, but avoid allowing the plant to sit in standing water. Reduce watering frequency during fall and winter as growth slows. Remove any yellowing or damaged foliage with clean scissors to encourage healthy new growth and improve air circulation. Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer monthly from spring through summer, following package directions to prevent nutrient burn.
