Maintenance:

Pruning – Prune occasionally to maintain the spiral shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Regular trimming helps preserve the clean, crisp lines of the topiary.

Mulching – Apply mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and protect the roots, especially in warmer weather.
