Water a plant when the soil feels dry to touch. Water thoroughly in the summer and reduce watering for the winter & rainy season. Try to water the plants in the morning around 8-10am. You should remove dead, infected or damaged plant parts and throw in the garbage collector. You should prune and fertilize a plant mostly in the spring season. When a plant grows beyond its limit and pot size not providing enough space for the spread of roots, re-pot with fresh soil and some fertilizer. While re-potting, try not to disturb the roots.
