• Keep the soil consistently and lightly moist.
• Water when the surface of the soil begins to feel slightly dry.
• Do not allow the soil to dry out completely, as the plant may wilt quickly.
• Allow excess water to drain freely and avoid waterlogged soil.
• Maintain good humidity to prevent dry or shrivelled leaves.
• Keep away from cold air-conditioning vents and strong drafts.
• Pinch back long stems to encourage compact, bushy growth.
• Apply a diluted, balanced indoor-plant fertiliser during the active growing season.
