Maintenance guide
Thrives in full sun to partial shade. Provide at least 4–6 hours of sunlight for best vigor.
Keep soil constantly wet. For container culture, place the pot in a saucer filled with water and never let it dry out.
Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced water-garden or general-purpose fertilizer to encourage lush, green growth.
Remove older stems as they yellow to promote fresh new growth. In colder climates, overwinter indoors by placing the pot in a bright location and keeping the soil saturated.
