Sunlight

Choose a location where it can get 3-5 hours of full daylight daily. If you are growing it indoors, pick a window that gets the most sun. Avoid keeping the plant in shade or a dark spot.

Watering

Water the plant only when the topsoil feels dry to touch. Water it thoroughly until it flows out of the drainage holes. Avoid overwatering the plant as it will induce root rot.
