Light: Thrives in a very sunny spot. Indoors, place it near a south-facing window. Outdoors, it loves a bright balcony or terrace during the warmer months.
-
Watering: Water regularly, typically once per week. The soil should be kept moist but well-drained; avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.
