Sun/Location: The plant needs full sun in the spring and fall, while it requires moderate shade during the summer. Insufficient light will cause the plant to be loose and uncompact, negatively affecting its ornamental appearance. In contrast, plants grown in full sunlight will have thick, full leaves, giving the plant a remarkable impression.

Soil/Pot: Soil matching, peat mixed with perlite with cinder, roughly 1:1:1 ratio, to isolate the plant and soil surface contact, but also to be more breathable, you can lay on the particles of clean river sand, river sand size 3 to 5 mm.

Watering: Before watering, wait until the top layer is dehydrated. Avoid water pools in the basin, which will cause root rot, and avoid the soil getting too dry. Although the plant will not die, the growth is slow, produce dark leaves, and lack vitality.
