Fertilizer: These Plants typically don’t require fertilizer, but if you need more nutrients, add them if you have less water. Do not over-fertilize, or the plants will get algae.
Tree Trimming: Prune the Plant in late winter or early spring before new shoots sprout. Trim away old and damaged leaves so they don’t turn brown.
Winter Care: During colder months, if your region experiences cold winters, the Plant will die back but stay dead, so the roots will spring back up.
