How to Care for the Plant

Water
It has to be watered about 3 times a week in summer and every 3-4 days the rest of the year. In any case, if in doubt, the humidity of the soil should be checked, for example by inserting a thin wooden stick all the way to the bottom. If it comes out practically clean, we will not water.
Fertilizer
The plant does well in infertile soil, fertilized in the fall with a half and half blend of balanced fertilizer and high-quality compost. Remember not to go overboard as overly rich soil can cause leggy growth.
Sunlight
Full sun, partial shade.
