During the summer months, you may need to water more often, about every 4-5 days, to ensure the soil remains consistently moist. During the winter months and when the plant is not actively growing, water less often but be sure to not let the soil dry out completely. Feel the top of the soil and if it feels dry, give it a good soaking until water comes out of the drainage holes. Make sure to check the soil drying patterns in between regular waterings.
Light
Evolvulus glomeratus 'Hawaiian Blue Eyes' is a plant species that requires several hours of sunlight each day to thrive. It should be placed in an area that gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. Full sun is best, although some light shade is tolerated. Because of its heat tolerance, it is ideal for climates with hot summers. The best time of day to provide adequate sunlight to this plant species is during the morning and early afternoon when the sun is at its strongest. To ensure maximum flowering, keep it in full direct sunlight until mid-afternoon and then move it to a location with less intense sunlight for the rest of the day.

Pruning
