How to Grow
First, I Recommend to start off your plants by growing them in a 4 inch pot with Happy Frog Potting soil. This product has fertilizer and soil beneficials already mixed in. After your plants are larger and more rooted, they can be re-potted or planted in normal decent soils about 3-4 ft apart. Water when your soil is about dried out. Plants like Full Sun, but a little shade won’t hurt.
