Light

Bright, direct light for at least 4–6 hours a day. A south or west window is ideal; rotate the pot a quarter-turn each week to keep growth even.

Water

Soak thoroughly, then let the soil dry completely before watering again. In summer that’s roughly every 10–14 days; in winter, once a month is plenty.
