Care Tips

• Light: Loves bright, indirect sunlight; full sun outdoors helps it flower.

• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; reduce watering in winter.

• Soil: Well-draining, rich soil. A mix with sand or perlite works well.

• Temperature: Prefers warmth (18–30°C); sensitive to frost.

• Fertilizer: Feed every 2–3 weeks during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer.
