How to Care for the Plant
Water
Depending on rainfall, new plants need to be watered weekly through the first growing season. A slow, one-hour trickle of water should do the job. During hot spells thoroughly soaking the ground up to 8” (20 cm) every few days is better than watering a little bit daily. Deep watering encourages roots to grow further into the ground resulting in a sturdier plant with more drought tolerance.
Pruning
Trim formal hedges in late summer. Often used for cloud topiary or bonsai. For topiary, trim in early or late summer. May need trimming twice or more in a growing season.
Fertilizer
Fertilize regularly for best display.
Sunlight
Sun to Part Shade
Soil
Fertile, well-drained soil.
Temperature
Lowest Temperature: -10° to 0°F (-23° to -18°C)
