It requires a location with partial shade or filtered light, avoiding direct afternoon sun, especially in hot climates. Keep the substrate consistently moist but well-drained, without waterlogging, and water with rainwater or softened water if possible. It prefers acidic soils, rich in organic matter, and with good drainage; bark mulch can be beneficial. Avoid lime in irrigation water and alkaline soils, as they can cause chlorosis.
