Lighting:

This plant does not resist frost, so in cold seasons you must protect it. It also does not resist direct sun. For it to be fine, you should place it in a drier environment, with plenty of light and protected from drafts.

– Irrigation:

The best irrigation method is to place a plate in the lower part and every time you notice the dry substrate above, add water to the plate for 15 minutes. You will notice that your plant absorbs this water up to what it needs.

– Substrate:

As for the substrate, it does not need much variety. You just have to procure a good quality one and to which we can add perlite, and give it a fertilizer rich in potassium at least once every 2 weeks.

– Pruning:

The best time is winter, when you will notice that its leaves fall. Cut the stems or sticks in half. Then, you take the plant out of the pot and also cut the roots, about 2 cm from the base. In a pot we put substrate up to half and place our plant. We return to fill with substrate until the plant is covered.
