How to Care for the Plant
Water
As an indoor specimen, they also will not require a lot of water. A deep watering once a week should be adequate, less often during winter.
Pruning
Pruning is seldom required for this plant. However, it may eventually grow quite tall and lanky. Plants can be pruned back hard to encourage more growth from down low, developing into a more compact and filled-out specimen
Fertilizer
Regular fertilizing with products such as Troforte and Organic Link will produce lush, glossy growth.
