Location

For rich flowering and berry formation:

• Light: plenty of indirect light; gradually acclimate to sun

• Spring–autumn: keep the soil slightly moist, water every 2–3 days

• Winter: water once a week

• Fertilizing: feed every 2 weeks during the growing season

• Leaf care: mist weekly with calcium-free water or place briefly outside in the rain for shiny, healthy leaves
