CONOCARPUS erectus

CONOCARPUS erectus Plant Care :
Planting

• Dig holes or beds wide, not deep
• Lightly amend heavy clay or sandy soils with organic matter
• Gently remove plants from containers, keeping the root ball intact
• Loosen potting soil and roots around bottom and edges of root ball

Watering

• Woody plants need watering less frequently than tender annuals or herbaceous plants
• Most established trees, shrubs, and vines can go weeks without supplemental watering except in extremely hot or windy weather
• Watering from a hose or sprinkler should be done slowly and deeply, not frequently, to avoid shallow root development or root diseases. Allow soil to dry several inches deep before irrigating

Fertilization

• Most plants need a regular "diet" of all-purpose plant food, either specialty (labeled for your specific plant type) or a generic N-P-K (nitrogen - phosphorus - potassium)
• Fertilize early in the plant's growing cycle - spring for summer plants, fall for winter plants
