Care Guide

Light Requirements

Place in full sun. 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily gives the best growth and leaf density.

Water deeply 2 times per week in summer. Reduce to once a week in winter. Always let the top 3-4 cm of soil dry between waterings.

Soil and Feeding

Use well-draining sandy or loamy soil. Feed with organic compost or balanced fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during the growing season.

Pruning and Placement

Light pruning keeps the shape tidy and encourages dense growth. Suitable for ground planting, farms, and large pots with drainage holes.
