Light:
Prefers bright indirect sunlight to partial direct sun. Around 3–5 hours of morning sun is ideal.

Fertilizer:
Feed with organic compost or liquid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks for healthy growth.

Pruning:

Overwatering can cause root rot, and occasionally aphids or whiteflies may appear. Neem oil spray helps control pests.
