Plants in the thorow wax genus thrive in full sun to partial shade, and prefer well-drained soil. Generally, these plants should be watered regularly but allowed to dry out between watering. To plant, prepare the area by amending with organic matter, then position the plant at the same depth it was in the pot. Water thoroughly after planting. Despite these general guidelines, it's essential to research specific thorow wax species, as needs may vary. Mulching the base of the plants can help retain moisture and discourage weeds.
