Feed with slow release fertiliser
Apply a general purpose slow release fertiliser, spreading it around the root area of the plant as it is coming into growth. (Or apply a liquid feed at regular intervals throughout the growing season.)
This is a simple way to provide a nutrient boost as a single annual procedure.
Spring-Autumn · Outdoors
Water during growth
Water young plants regularly to keep soil moist. Mature, well established plants in the ground are drought tolerant and you can leave the soil to dry on the surface for several weeks before deep watering is required. Check plants in pots more often.
