Step 1: Unpack your plants immediately removing any packing material.
Cut away any yellow or brown leaves or broken stems that may
have occurred. This grooming is completely normal and will take
place as the plant grows. New leaves and stems appear as the old
ones are cut away. Be careful of the thorns on the woody stems.
Step 2: Water the plants thoroughly a couple times per week but insist on
good drainage. They are drought tolerant once established. Be sure
to keep excess water out of any saucer underneath pot.
Step 3: Transplant into larger 10-12 inch containers separately or larger
containers together. Water again.
Step 4: You may place plants outside as long as evening temperatures stay
above 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Plants prefer full sun.
Step 5: These plants really respond to heavy feeding.
