Watering
Water about once a week. Let the top few cm of soil dry first. It dislikes soggy soil.
Light
Bright light without direct sun. It tolerates less light but grows slowly and loses its red leaf edges.
Feeding and repotting
Feed every 4 weeks from spring to summer. Repot every 2 to 3 years. Prune the stem to make it branch.
Watch out for
Brown leaf tips often come from dry air or tap water with a lot of fluoride. Lower leaves drop with age.
