Use as indoor decorative plant, patio accent, or shade-tolerant garden shrub.
Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and improve photosynthesis.
Propagate via stem cuttings for new plants.
⌠Don’t:

Don’t fertilize excessively — may burn leaf tips.
Don’t neglect pests — mealybugs and spider mites spread quickly indoors.
