Plant care

• Keep in well lit indoors. A strong direct sun can be damaging while darkness will yield no growth.
• Take care to plant in well-drained soil and do not leave the plant too wet, although watering every day in summers is recommended.
• The plant does just as well in pots as it does in your garden soil, although location with reference to the sun is important.
• Apply balanced fertilizers, once every couple of weeks during the flowering season and just about once in the winters.
