Planting Care & Instructions

To plant: Find a full sun location that receives 6+ hours of direct sun per day. Dig a hole slightly larger than the spread of the plant's root system. Place the plant in the center of the hole. Spread out the roots and back fill with soil. Firm the soil around the roots as you back fill. Water thoroughly at planting and as needed during the growth process. Add 2-3" of mulch to conserve moisture. Fertilize every 4 months with citrus fertilizer. Contact your local county extension agent for diagnosis of suspected disease or other issues.

Growing Tips

Cut out dead stalks after fruiting to give smaller parts room to grow. Overwinter indoors.
