🧪 Treatment
Treatment: Place in bright indirect light — not full shade
Wipe leaves monthly to remove dust and let the plant breathe
Fertilize every 6–8 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer
Prune lightly to encourage branching and compact shape
Rotate indoor pots occasionally for even growth
❌ Avoid These Mistakes:
🚫 Overwatering – will cause leaf yellowing and root rot
🚫 Too little light – leads to leggy, floppy stems
🚫 Cold wind or drafty windows – causes leaves to drop
🚫 Crowded growth – attracts pests and reduces airflow
