Care Instructions:

Soil Needs: Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix with added perlite or bark for aeration.
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry; avoid standing water to prevent root rot.

Fertilizing: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Pruning: Prune to control size and shape; remove any damaged or older leaves.
