Water thoroughly and allow soil to dry out a bit between waterings.

Temperature

Normal room temperatures 65-75°F/18-24°C

Soil

Soilless potting mix to allow good drainage.

Fertilizer

Feed spring through summer every 2 weeks with a liquid fertilizer diluted by half. In fall and winter, feed monthly.
