New Jersey Tea is drought-tolerant once established. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in cooler months.

Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot, especially in poorly draining soils.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can also be done after flowering to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can reduce flowering.

Seeds can be sown outdoors in fall or stratified indoors over winter. Cuttings can be taken from semi-hardwood in mid-summer and rooted in a well-draining medium.

Division of established clumps in early spring is also an effective method.

New Jersey Tea generally prefers not to be disturbed once established and is best left in the ground.

If container-grown plants become root-bound, repot in early spring into a slightly larger container using a well-draining potting mix. Water thoroughly after repotting.
