The plant prefers well-draining loam soil. A mix that includes sand and perlite can help improve drainage. It is important to avoid waterlogged conditions to prevent root rot.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks. Reduce or stop fertilizing during the dormancy period.Verpotten
