How to Care for the Plant

Water
Avoid watering during warm weather. (This can be a challenge with a new young tree but you just have to be careful – try to water a young tree before a heat wave, or in the cool of the night. And avoid the problem by planting early in spring, or in the autumn, so the tree roots in during cool weather.)
Fertilizer
Avoid fertilizing, particularly with any fertilizer containing phosphorus or potassium, which can kill Embothrium.
Sunlight
in sun
