Wait until the top of the soil is dry before watering it sparingly. Be careful to not drench it and keep away from droughts
Temperature
Ideal temperature between 18-24 °C but it can cope with as low as 10 °C for short periods of time.
Feeding
You can feed it with a weak fertiliser during the growing season
Grooming
Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust
Care
If it is growing too tall, or looking a bit unkempt, trim stems with sharp shears
