Rosinweeds, or the compass plant, prefers well-drained soil and full sun exposure, but can tolerate slight shade. Watering needs depend on the environment - regular watering in dry climates and less in moist ones. To plant, prepare your location by loosening the soil and then dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball. Position the plant in the hole, ensuring the crown is at ground level. Fill in with soil, then water thoroughly. Given the wide range of species within the rosinweeds genus, always verify species-specific needs.
