How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water deeply and regularly (mornings are best). Avoid overhead watering.
Pruning
Although deadheading is not necessary, removing some of the flower stems will keep the plant looking more tidy, encourage more blooms and reduce self seeding. If all the flower spikes are cut back at once, it will take 2 to 3 weeks for the plants to start blooming again. Cut back the flower spikes in fall and remove all dead foliage the following spring. Guara has few insect or disease problems. Root rot may be an issue in heavy, poorly drained soils.
Fertilizer
Water and fertilize sparingly to promote compact growth and more flowers.
