This releases the nutrients slowly and continuously so that the plant is evenly supplied over a longer period of time. - If the plant is watered less frequently but thoroughly and penetratingly, the plant roots are stimulated to penetrate into deeper soil layers. This helps the plant to survive periods of drought. - Thinning pruning is recommended, in which only the shoots that are too dense are removed.
