info
Water this plant every couple of weeks through its first dry season. 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. Going forward it won’t need supplemental irrigation, though it will look more lush if given water every two to four weeks during dry weather once established. In a pot slowly water the entire surface until water comes out of the bottom of your pot.

Growing Notes

In late winter cut down spent flower spikes and thin out older leaves if they look ratty.
