If you have them growing in tubs, it's imperative never to let them dry-out!
As well as keeping them well supplied with water (rain water if possible) give the a granular, slow release fertilizer as directed.
As with many evergreen shrubs, they can be pruned in late spring and summer but not when frosts are forcast.
Turning the tubs occaisionally should keep them looking good and uniform. Good Luck Tbird+
