Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:
- Your plant needs regular watering to settle into its new home and establish roots.
- Give your plants a good soaking about once per week, and more often when it’s hot.
- Keep in mind that plants in containers dry out faster than in the ground.Â
- If leaves are wilting or curling, more water is needed.
- Use a soaker hose or drip system to make watering easier.
- Reduce watering and weeding by adding a 2-3 inch layer of organic bark mulch around your plants.
- Your plant won’t need a lot of fertilizer, but it will benefit from an organic all-purpose fertilizer in the spring when the leaves start to sprout.
- A fertilizer with a higher middle number will work best.
