Care
- Excess water must be able to drain away easily and waterlogging should be avoided at all costs. - Over time, the soil loses some of its important properties. The plants should therefore be transplanted into a larger pot with fresh container plant soil every two years in spring. - Cut back boldly in spring so that the plant grows compactly. - A slow-release fertiliser can be used in spring. This releases the nutrients slowly and continuously so that the plant is evenly supplied over a longer period of time.
