Care

• Sunlight: bright light; happy in full sun or partial shade, indoors by a bright window or outdoors on a balcony
• Watering: keep the soil evenly moist; water when the surface just begins to dry
• Fertilizing: feed once every 30–60 days with NPK 19:19:19 or vermicompost
• Pruning: trim lightly and regularly to build its fine, ramified branching
