Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves
Can adapt to slightly lower light if watered carefully

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry
Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy
Reduce watering during winter or slower growth periods
Use room-temperature water to avoid shocking the roots

Thrives in 65–85°F
Prefers moderate to high humidity
Tolerates normal indoor air but appreciates occasional misting
Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F

Upright, self-heading (non-vining) growth habit
Mature indoor size: 2–3 feet tall and wide

Remove yellow or damaged leaves as needed
Trim outer leaves to maintain compact shape
Can be pruned lightly to control size without harming growth

Growth slows in cooler months
Reduce watering and avoid fertilizing until active growth resumes

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer
Do not fertilize during winter dormancy or when growth is minimal
