Soil Requirements: The plant requires well-draining, fertile soil. A mix of sand, perlite, and peat moss in equal parts is ideal, with a slightly acidic to neutral pH of 5.5–7.0
Watering: Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Deep, infrequent watering encourages strong root growth, while overwatering can lead to root rot.
For propagation, cut healthy 4–6-inch stems, strip lower leaves, dip in rooting hormone, and plant in well-draining soil in a bright, warm spot.
