This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in soil that is not too rich in nutrients. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
A balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-5 can be applied during the growing season. Fertilize sparingly, as too much can harm the plant.Repotting

Pruning is beneficial for maintaining the plant's shape and encouraging new growth. Prune in early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged stems and trim back to maintain the desired shape.Toxicity
