How to Care for the Plant

Water
The plant does not require frequent watering. Do not overwater - check the soil and wait until it fully dries before you start watering again. Water once a week in the warm season and limit to the minimum during the dormant period (try wetting the soil a little periodically).
Pruning
To maintain the plant's aesthetic appeal, you should cut off the tips of the leaves if they have begun to dry out. You need to do this very carefully.
Fertilizer
Use a small amount of the common-purpose fertilizer monthly while the plant is actively growing.
