Watering: Consistent watering is important to keep the soil moist. However, avoid waterlogging as it can cause root rot. Regularly check the top layer of soil to determine the right time to water.
Fertilizing: Regular fertilization during the growing season promotes the growth and health of the plant. Use a balanced liquid fertilizer to ensure adequate nutrient supply. Fertilize every few weeks for the best results.
Care tips: Pruning in late autumn or early spring supports the shape and health of the plant. Remove dead or diseased branches to encourage growth.
