Planting & Care

Water your plant thoroughly before planting, then select a location with partial shade to encourage robust growth. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant at soil level or slightly above to ensure proper drainage; backfill with soil, water deeply, and add a 1–2 inch mulch layer around the base. Keep soil consistently moist throughout the growing season while avoiding waterlogged conditions that lead to root decay. Remove yellowing or dead foliage regularly to maintain vigor and appearance, and apply balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the active growing period for vibrant, healthy foliage.
