Recommendations for care 1. Lighting • Likes bright diffused light. • On the northern windows, the leaves lose their color saturation. • Direct sun is acceptable in the morning or evening; light shade is better during the day. 2. Watering • Summer: once every 5-7 days (approximately 4-6 times a month). • Winter: every 10-14 days. • The soil should be slightly moist to prevent stagnation of water. 3.

Temperature • Optimal +20...+28 °C. • Does not tolerate cold below +16 °C and drafts. 5. Top dressing • From spring to autumn — once every 2-3 weeks with fertilizer for ornamental and deciduous plants. • In winter — 1 time per month or not to feed. 6. Transfer • Young plants — annually. • Adults — once every 2-3 years. • Soil: light, loose, well-drained. 7. Additional information • Remove dry and yellowed leaves. • Wipe the leaves regularly to preserve the brightness of the color.
