Care

Water the plants when the top few inches (8 cm.) of soil feels dry. Keep it only moderately moist, yet not soggy. Repot your plant every three to five years or as needed in a rich houseplant mix with plenty of sand mixed in to increase drainage. Use unglazed pots, which allow excess moisture to freely evaporate and prevent wet root damage.
