Planting

How to Grow

  1. Tuck seeds lightly into moist soil in early spring for best germination.
  2. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
  3. Mist cuttings to maintain humidity and promote rooting during propagation.
  4. Fertilize monthly with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season.
  5. Divide mature plants in early spring or fall to propagate new plants.
  6. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
