Sun Requirements ▾
Thrives in full sun (at least 4–6 hours daily). Indoors, place in a bright, sunny window with plenty of indirect light.
Watering Instructions ▾
Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch feels dry, ensuring proper drainage to prevent root rot.
Care Tips ▾
Soil: Prefers well-draining, slightly alkaline soil (pH 6.5–7.5). A mix of loamy soil with sand or perlite works well.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage healthy blooms. Avoid excessive nitrogen to prevent leggy growth.
Humidity: Tolerates average humidity levels but prefers good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
