Care tips

Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy, allowing the top inch to dry between waterings. Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Prune lightly to encourage bushier growth. It prefers moderate to high humidity, so mist regularly or place near a humidifier, especially in drier months.
