    Care tips

    Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy, and allow the top layer to dry out slightly between waterings. Trim regularly to maintain shape and prevent legginess. Prefers cooler rooms and good air circulation. Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant feed. Avoid hot, dry environments.
