Generally speaking, the plant should be watered once every 4 to 5 days during periods of active growth. During periods of dormancy or colder weather, frequency should be reduced somewhat. When watering, enough should be applied that the top inch or 2 of soil is moistened. If possible, it is best to water with rainfall or water that has been collected in rain barrels.
