Planting and Care:
growing cycle. Fertilization should begin just prior to new growth and end three or four weeks before the first frost.
Choose an all-purpose fertilizer recommended for flowering and/or foliage plants. Frequency will depend on the type of fertilizer. Liquid (water soluble) and granular quick release fertilizer, require more frequent application; slow release granular fertilizer requires less.
When using granular fertilizer be sure to sprinkle fertilizer pellets away from the plant stems or trunk to prevent possible burning and always water thoroughly after application. This dissolves or releases the fertilizer into the soil. Apply water soluble fertilizer by thoroughly drenching the leaves and soil.
Always follow fertilizer package directions.
Prune as required to keep plants a desired size or shape.
Encourage new blooms by cutting off dead or faded flowers.
Plants with branches originating from the roots of the plant need to be selectively pruned. Prune by removing the oldest branches completely. This will allow new, more productive branches to develop and produce flowers.
Remove damaged or dead limbs back to live wood.
When pruning, make angled cuts just above the bud.
Use proper tools such as shears, hand pruners, pole pruners and pruning saws. Make sure all equipment is clean and sharp.
Fertilize after pruning to help speed new growth.
New plants require more frequent watering than established plants. After planting check for water regularly until fully rooted and established.
Always water slowly and deeply making sure the root ball is completely saturated.
Don't water at night if possible. Watering in the morning helps prevent disease.
If new plant wilts between watering, increase the frequency of watering.
Plants in hot, humid or sunny areas need more frequent watering than plants in cool climates.
Plants in containers may require more frequent watering than plants in the ground.
