Feed
Apply a slow-release balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote lush, green growth.
Water
Keep soil consistently moist, watering deeply once a week until established and during hot, dry spells.
Prune
Lightly trim in late spring to maintain its naturally rounded form and remove any damaged branches.
Exposure
Grow in full sun to partial shade, with at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for best density and color.
