Well-draining, fertile soil with added compost for Brunfelsia. Good drainage is essential for Yesterday Today Tomorrow to prevent waterlogging, which leads to root rot and fungal issues.

Feed Yesterday Today Tomorrow every 6 months during the growing season with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at the rate on the label. Established trees in good soil often need little extra feeding, so let weak growth or pale foliage guide you.

Stop feeding by late summer so new growth can harden before winter.
