How to Care for the Plant
Water
Allow the top of the soil to dry out 1 inch between waters or simply wait for her leaves to droop. Cut back watering in the cooler months to give the plant a chance to rest and go semi-dormant. And don’t leave him sitting with water in the drip tray.
Pruning
Prune free-standing specimens in early years only; formally grown plants in summer; hedges in early spring.
Fertilizer
If the flowers are a little green around the gills instead of creamy white, you are probably overdoing the fertilizer.
