âś… Do:
Keep in bright indirect light, away from harsh midday sun.

Allow topsoil to dry before watering again.
Give a rest period after blooming: cooler temps, little water for ~6 weeks.
Feed with half-strength balanced fertilizer during growth & budding.
❌ Don’t:
Expose to extreme heat or cold drafts.
Move the plant when it has buds – it will drop them.
Overwater – roots and stems are prone to rot.
Use very deep pots – they prefer shallow containers.
