How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water this plant so the soil is moist but isn’t soaking wet.While these plants don’t like waterlogged soil, they do well in spaces with slower water drainage than required by most plants.
Pruning
During the fall season, after the blooming period has passed, the crown should be cut as short as it possibly can, snip the stems down to around 4” inches from the crown.This helps to stimulate new growth and enhances the following blooming season.
Fertilizer
It’s best to fertilize with liquid feed in the spring every two to three weeks.
