How to Care for the Plant

Water
Will tolerate full sun if soil is kept moist.
Fertilizer
They are fertilized every spring with regular plant food.
Container
Ceramic and plastic are the two best options, and both have their pros and cons. Ceramic pots are porous which means your plants are less likely to experience root rot from overwatering. It also means you'll have to water more often. Plastic pots are lighter, less likely to break, and easier to clean.
