During hot, dry weather, its water requirement may increase. At this time, it is best to water deeply about twice a week.

sunlight
SmokeTree (Cotinus coggygria 'Daydream') grows best in full sun (6 or more hours of direct sunlight a day). However, it does not tolerate extreme temperatures. In hot climates, it should be grown with protection from the hottest sun, to avoid leaf burn, and should be given filtered sun and plenty of moisture. In cooler climates, it can handle more direct sunlight, but will need additional watering to prevent it from stressing.
pruning

This should involve removal of dead and broken branches and any suckers that come up from the ground. Approximately 20-30% of the total amount of stems should be removed in any given season, but this can depend on the age and size of the tree. Pruning should be done with caution and care, as removing too much can be damaging to the tree.
