Water deeply 2–3 times per week during establishment, then reduce to weekly once roots are established.

Moderate water needs. Performs noticeably worse on South Florida's alkaline, limestone-influenced soils without a consistent micronutrient (manganese, boron, iron) supplementation program — irrigation alone will not resolve the deficiency symptoms common to this species here.
