Provide at least 4–6 hours of sunlight daily for healthy growth.

- Gradually acclimatize the plant when moving it from shade to strong sunlight.
💧 Water
-
Water thoroughly when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry.
- Allow excess water to drain completely.
- Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet, as this can lead to root problems.
