Plant Care

Sunlight: Place indoors in a medium to bright position, or outdoors in a bright spot away from direct sunlight. If the leaves scorch/burn, shift your plant to a less sunny spot. Turn the plant occasionally so all the growth does not occur on one side.

Watering: Water the soil directly, avoid the leaves. Wait for top 2-3cm to dry out before watering again. Water thoroughly & discard any excess water. Sensitive to overwatering, root rot can easily develop. Discard any excess water.

Fertiliser: Apply granular fertiliser or liquid fertiliser every 2 weeks.

Soil: Slightly damp, rich & well-drained. Ensure soil is not soggy.
