Low Maintenance

Ideal as a potted plant outdoors or planted in-ground in a shady garden. Feed with a slow-release 14-14-14 granular fertilizer every three months. Pluck off any wilted foliage to maintain an attractive appearance. If potted, repot with fresh soil and trim back after some time to rejuvenate.
