Planting & Care

Dig a planting hole twice the width of the root ball at the same depth as the container. Mix the removed soil with peat moss and fill around the plant. Water regularly to establish roots, keeping soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Fertilize twice yearly—once in spring and once after harvest—while young growth needs only light pruning to remove lower branches and excess upright shoots. In containers, ensure adequate drainage and increase water frequency during hot months.
