Your care routine

Light

Sun or partial shade; protect from very hot, drying exposure.

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

Ornamental only; do not eat. Handle leaf edges carefully and keep trimmings away from pets.
