How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water the Indian warrior plant with a 1/2 gallon of distilled water to settle the soil. Water the plant again only when the top 3 inches of soil dries out. Provide supplemental water only during its first summer in the garden. Distilled water is preferred since it is more similar to rain water than standard tap water.
Pruning
Cut back after flowering.
Fertilizer
Mulch around the base of the plant with a 1-inch-thick layer of compost. Spread the mulch around a 10-inch radius to help hold moisture around the plant's roots. Leave a 1-inch gap between the base of the plant and the inner edge of the compost.
