How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water deeply at soil level, not from overhead or with a sprinkler which encourages disease. Lay the hose end next to the plant, turn the hose on low and water for about 30 minutes or until the soil is moist. A soaker hose turned on low for a few hours will cover a larger area effectively.
Pruning
Occasionally
Fertilizer
With the organic matter and mulch, you do not need to fertilize. However, it’s fine to sprinkle a commercial organic fertilizer over the soil.
