Sun Requirements ▾

Full sun to partial sun is ideal. Provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for strong root formation. While tolerant of light shade, reduced sun exposure may slow growth and decrease root size.

Watering Instructions ▾

Keep soil consistently moist to promote even root development. Avoid letting soil dry out completely, as irregular watering can lead to woody texture or cracking. Do not overwater, as saturated soil may increase the risk of rot.
