HOW TO CARE
☀ Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight but can adapt to full sun. Provide some shade in extreme heat.
💧 Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but well-drained. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent overwatering.
🌡️ Temperature: Prefers warm and humid climates, ideally between 18-30°C. Protect from frost and extreme cold.
🌱 Fertilizer: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and flowering.
🪴 Potting: Suitable for both pots and garden beds. Use well-draining soil with organic compost for better root health.
✂️ Pruning: Regular trimming helps maintain shape, encourage dense foliage, and promote new growth. Remove dead or weak branches as needed.
💨 Bonus Tip: Mist the leaves occasionally to boost humidity and keep the foliage fresh and healthy.
