If grown indoors, put it next to a sunny window. Too much direct sunlight can burn the leaves. Soil Use a well-drained soil mix with lots of perlite or vermiculite for drainage. You can also add some small stones or clay pebbles to the bottom of the pot to prevent puddles. Watering Water thoroughly and allow the soil to dry out a couple of weeks before watering again. Water more frequently during the spring and fall, but reduce watering in the winter when the plant goes dormant. Fertilizing You can feed the plant with a low nitrogen or basic houseplant fertilizer every 6–8 weeks between fall and spring. Pruning Prune the branches to prevent them from growing into an unruly brush. Temperature Gradually acclimate the plant to outdoor conditions before moving it permanently outside. When night temperatures drop below 40° F, move the plant back inside. Pests Maintain proper humidity levels and keep the soil well-drained to keep pests like spider mites, gnats, and mealybugs away. Repotting Repot the plant once a year to provide it with more nutrition.
