water info |
For the first three years after it’s planted, this plant should be watered deeply but infrequently (when the top three inches of soil or so have dried). After that, it will look best with occasional deep waterings every couple weeks to a month. 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. If you find the plant slow to grow in the warm season, increase watering. Though this plant is not very thirsty, never let it go bone dry in a pot. |
