Regular watering should aim to keep the soil evenly moist, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings to encourage strong root development.

Apply according to the product's instructions, ensuring even distribution around the base of the plant to encourage a bushy, spreading growth habit. Well-drained soil is crucial for this species, so over-fertilizing, which can lead to excessive moisture retention, should be avoided to maintain optimal plant health.
