Care tips
It thrives in full sun to light partial shade and well-drained soils, preferably sandy or loamy, without being overly demanding regarding fertility. Watering should be moderate, allowing the substrate to dry out slightly between waterings, as it tolerates short periods of drought once established. A common mistake to avoid is overwatering, which can lead to root rot. No pruning is required.
