Care Guide:

1. Light:

   • Thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
   • For indoor placement, choose a spot with bright, indirect sunlight to maintain its vibrant color.
   • Avoid placing in low-light areas, as this can lead to foliage discoloration.

2. Watering:

   • Water regularly but avoid overwatering. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
   • Requires more frequent watering during hot, dry periods but less in cooler months.
   • Ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent root rot.

3. Soil:

   • Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil.
   • A mix of sand, loam, and organic matter works best for healthy growth.

4. Temperature:

   • Thrives in mild climates, with an ideal range of 50-75°F (10-24°C).
   • Protect from extreme heat or frost by moving potted plants indoors or covering outdoor plants during cold spells.

5. Humidity:

   • Tolerates a range of humidity levels but prefers moderate humidity.
   • For indoor plants, occasional misting can help in dry environments.

6. Fertilizing:

   • Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring and summer for optimal growth.
   • Reduce feeding in fall and winter, as the plant’s growth slows.
