Care Instructions

Planting
Plant in full sun to partial shade in a sheltered location. Provide plenty of space for mature height and leaf spread.

Watering
Water frequently to keep soil consistently moist. Avoid letting the soil dry out, especially during hot weather.

Pruning
Remove yellowing or damaged leaves at the base to maintain appearance and promote healthy new growth.

Soil Tips
