âś… Do:
Place indoors in bright but indirect light (near east- or north-facing windows).
Allow topsoil to dry between waterings.
Feed with liquid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during spring–summer.
Let the plant rest (cooler & less water) in winter for better flowering.
❌ Don’t:
Expose to harsh midday sun – leaves will scorch.
Overwater – roots are very sensitive to rot.
Keep in very large pots – prefers snug roots.
Cut healthy leaves – only remove dead/dry ones.
