Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some direct sunlight but avoid harsh midday sun, which can cause leaf burn.
Watering Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in the winter when growth slows.
Soil Preference: Use a well-draining, lightweight potting mix. A mix of peat, perlite, and pine bark works well.
How to Fertilize: Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
Hardiness Zone: Typically grown as an indoor plant. Not frost-tolerant, so it's best suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 10-11 when grown outdoors.
Pet Safety: Generally considered non-toxic to pets, but it’s always best to prevent pets from chewing on houseplants.
Additional Care Tips: Prune regularly to maintain a bushy appearance and remove any leggy or unhealthy stems.
