Care tips
Watering
Water about once a week and keep it evenly moist. Never let the root ball dry out or sit in water.
Light
A bright spot without harsh sun. Keep it in one place, because moving it makes it drop leaves.
Feeding and repotting
Feed every 2 to 4 weeks in the growing season. Repot every 2 years in spring. Prune in spring to keep the shape.
Watch out for
Sudden leaf drop is the typical reaction to drafts, a new place or a watering mistake. Not for holiday absences.
