Plant Care

• Light: Prefers bright, direct sunlight. It thrives in full sun, but can tolerate partial shade.
• Water: Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but well-draining. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water to prevent root rot.
• Temperature: Thrives in moderate temperatures between 50-75°F (10-24°C). It is not frost-tolerant, so protect it from cold temperatures.
• Humidity: Prefers average to moderate humidity levels. It can tolerate drier air but benefits from occasional misting in dry indoor environments.
• Soil: Well-draining, slightly acidic soil. A general potting mix with added sand or perlite works well to improve drainage.
• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.
• Pruning: Light pruning to shape the plant and remove dead or damaged branches helps maintain a neat appearance.
• Pests: Can be susceptible to aphids, spider mites, and scale. Treat with insecticidal soap if necessary.
• Toxicity: Non-toxic to pets, making it a safe option for homes with animals.
