• Use well-draining potting mix with added compost for nutrients and good drainage.
• Feed monthly with balanced liquid fertiliser during spring and summer growing period.

• Water when top 2cm of soil feels dry, allowing excess to drain completely. Reduce watering in winter months.
• Maintain humidity around 50-60% indoors by placing on pebble tray with water.
• Keep temperatures between 18-28°C for optimal growth. Protect from cold drafts and frost.
• Pinch flowers regularly to encourage leaf production and prevent the plant going to seed.

• Aphids can cluster on new growth - spray with neem oil or insecticidal soap weekly until cleared. Remove affected leaves and dispose in general waste.
• Leaf yellowing indicates overwatering or poor drainage. Reduce watering frequency and ensure pot has drainage holes.
• Scale insects appear as small brown bumps on stems - scrape off manually or treat with horticultural oil.
• Fungal issues from high humidity cause leaf spots. Improve air circulation and avoid watering foliage directly.
