Planting and Care Instructions

•  Watering: It is important to water once a week, especially if you have the plants in a container that has drainage holes, water thoroughly once a week during the active growth period.
• On the other hand, if the container has no drainage holes, one can water just water a little bit to moisten the soil and not have the water pool up at the bottom of the container. It helps to prevent the rotting of the plants.
• When watering, it is essential to drench the soil thoroughly and allow it to become dry for days before the next watering.
•  Lighting: For the plant’s health, place them in a brightly lit part of the window, in the south-facing area indoors. Outdoor, place the plants in an area with bright, indirect light.
