Light Preference
Full Sun: Prefers at least 6-8 hours of sunlight, with 0-30% shade.
Water Preference
Moderate Water: Prefers soil to be slightly damp or moist, and allowed to dry out slightly between water sessions. Frequent watering, sometimes once or twice daily, is usually needed.
Soil Requirements
Grow in well-drained acidic soil. However, it’s adaptable to most garden soils such as sandy, clay, and loamy soils.
Fertilizer Needs
Feed once monthly with a balanced organic fertiliser. Generally free from serious garden pests. However, do watch out for caterpillars that love feasting on the young shoots.
