How to Grow: For best results, plant in a location with filtered sunlight or partial shade to shield it from the intense afternoon sun. Thriving in temperate climates, it should be protected from extreme heat or cold. Keep the soil consistently moist, particularly during hot weather, ensuring you avoid waterlogging. Fertilise in spring with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser to encourage optimal growth. Moderate humidity levels are ideal; during dry periods, mist the leaves to maintain moisture.
