Your care routine
Watering
Keep soil reasonably moist, especially in pots and during establishment, while allowing excess water to drain.
Soil & drainage
Moisture-retentive, well-drained garden soil or container mix.
Fertilizer
Feed lightly in spring if needed; follow the product label and avoid excessive fertilizer.
Temperature
Grow outdoors in a suitable local site; sheltered containers need extra protection during severe freezes.
Humidity
Normal outdoor humidity and air circulation.
Through the seasons
Remove or comb out dead leaves in spring; retain healthy evergreen foliage. Divide crowded clumps in spring when needed.
When your plant needs help
- Brown leaf tips can follow drought, exposed wind or cold damage.
- Persistently wet, airless soil may cause root decline.
Pets & little ones
