info
Water this plant regularly, when the surface of the soil feels dry. Usually this will mean once or twice a week in dry weather. Use a slow stream of water so that it doesn’t run off; allow the water to trickle all the way down through to the deepest layers of soil. In a pot slowly water the entire surface until water comes out of the bottom of your pot.
