Directions for Planting/Care

Let's take a closer look at how to plant and care for your Butterfly Candy™ 'Lil Coconut '™:

Planting

Choose the Right Spot: Start by selecting a sunny location in your garden. 'Lil Coconut'™ thrives in full sun to partial shade, so ensure it receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight each day.

Prepare the Soil: Make sure the soil is well-draining. You can amend heavy or clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage. 'Lil Coconut'™ prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil.

Dig the Hole: Dig a hole that's slightly larger than the root ball of your plant. The depth should be such that the top of the root ball sits level with the soil surface.

Plant the 'Lil Coconut'™: Gently remove the plant from its container and place it in the prepared hole. Ensure that the top of the root ball is at ground level. Fill the hole with soil, tamp it down gently, and water thoroughly to settle the soil.

Care

Watering: Water your 'Lil Coconut'™ regularly, especially during the growing season. Aim to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. In hot weather, you may need to water more frequently, but always allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring when new growth begins. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the appropriate dosage.

Pruning: To encourage new growth and maintain a tidy shape, consider pruning your 'Lil Coconut'™ in late winter or early spring. Remove any dead or damaged stems and spent flowers as needed.

Deadheading: To prolong the blooming period, deadhead (remove) spent flowers regularly. This encourages the plant to produce more blossoms and keeps your garden looking fresh.
