It's best to water deeply and less frequently, allowing the roots to absorb moisture effectively. Early morning or late afternoon is ideal for watering to minimise evaporation.

Ensure excess water can drain away, whether the plant is in the ground or a pot.

The amount of fertiliser depends on the plant's size, so adjust accordingly. Nutrients are absorbed when rain or watering helps them penetrate the soil. During dry spells, water the garden to activate the fertiliser and support the plant's vitality.
