Compatibility: This plant is compatible with a wide range of indoor environments. Ensure a location with adequate but indirect sunlight. It is best suited for climates where temperatures remain consistent, as it is sensitive to the cold.
Care Instructions: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems. Fertilize lightly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Prune any leggy or damaged stems to encourage bushier growth. Wipe the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust.
