This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate sandy or rocky soils as well. Ensure the soil dries out almost completely between waterings to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to support healthy growth and flowering.Repotting
