Watering & Sunlight:    This plant loves bright indirect light and can tolerate lower light levels for some days.Interestingly, we can grow this plant as outdoor plant also (If atmospheric temperature is less than 35⁰ C ). Even with low climatic humidity (20%), this plant can survive. Drainage in pot is necessary by making sufficient holes in bottom.

Soil:    We should prepare the potting mix in such way so that water should reach bottom of pot within 15-25 seconds. This is the basic quality of fast draining soil. Such soil also contribute to make the potting mix more aerated. To make the ideal potting mix, 20 % drainage media (river sand/ Leca/ Perlite/ Pumice or rice husk- use any one of them) in potting mix should be available. In rest of the potting mix, we should mix vermi-compost (25 %) and garden soil (55%).
