Plantation

  1. Soil: Prefer well-draining soil. A mix of peat, pine bark, and sand can be ideal.
  2. Location: Choose a location with bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct morning sunlight.
  3. Spacing: If planting outdoors, ensure there's enough space between plants for adequate air circulation.

Growing

  1. Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60°F to 75°F. Protect from frost.
  2. Watering: Water when the top inch of the soil becomes dry. Avoid letting the soil get soggy.
  3. Fertilizing: Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season.

Care

  1. Pruning: Regular pruning helps to maintain the 'triple ball' shape. Remove any unwanted or dead growth.
  2. Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and give roots more space.
  3. Pests: Watch for common pests like spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Treat infestations early with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
