How to Care for the Plant

Water
Keep the soil consistently moist without overdoing it. Let the top inch (2.5 cm) dry out before you water again. Show your plant a little love and don't let it get too thirsty.
Pruning
Prune sparingly, trimming dead or damaged leaves, and let the plant keep its voluminous hairstyle.
Fertilizer
Feed your green pet with balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season. Use a diluted dose every 4-6 weeks.
