When fertilizing, distribute the product evenly around the base of the shrub, taking care not to concentrate it too close to the stem. Water thoroughly after application to assist in the absorption of nutrients and to prevent root burn. Proper fertilization will enhance the striking yellow and green foliage that this plant is known for.
