water info |
Water this plant regularly late spring through early fall. Use drippers, emitters, or a slow stream of water so that it doesn’t run off; allow the water to trickle all the way down through the deepest layers of soil. In a pot slowly water the entire surface until water comes out of the bottom of your pot. This plant rests during winter and has succulent rhizomes to store energy, making it quite drought tolerant during this time. With good drainage it won’t mind ample water, but if the soil is heavy it is better to go light on watering during winter, allowing the soil to mostly dry out. |
