Care & Growing Guide

• ☀️ Light: Thrives in full sun for denser growth and richer color, but adapts well to partial or dappled shade.

• 🚿 Watering: Water regularly until established (first 8–12 weeks). Once rooted, water sparingly—it relies mostly on natural rainfall.

• 🌱 Soil: Prefers well-draining soil. Tolerates sandy, loamy, or clay soils; apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

• ✂️ Pruning: Remove dead or yellowing foliage near the base in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh, vibrant new growth.
