Sonja, Use as large of a container as you can to provide more rooting area. This way you won't have to water quite so often and the plant is less likely to quickly get into stress from a lack of water. You do need to choose a container that has drainage holes to avoid oversaturated conditions in the lower parts of the container if you ever overwater. Water often enough to maintain a moist soil mix and fertilize monthly with a soluble plant food at the label rate. Thanks for the question. Please stop in again soon! |
