Pruning
Remove dead leaves throughout the year. Dead foliage provides places for pests to hide and water to collect. Cut the dead leaves close to the base, allowing new foliage to take its place.
Fertilizer
Fertilizer can be used, but only sparingly. Using too much fertilizer may lead to excessive growth, weakening the plant.
