Quick Care Reference for Indian Homes
☀️ Light Allocation
Bright indirect morning sunlight (east windows) or dappled balcony light. Avoid harsh 12 PM – 3 PM scorching sun.
💧 Watering Rules
Water when the top 1 inch of soil feels dry. Drooping leaves signal thirst, while black mushy stem bases indicate overwatering.
🍃 Pinching Frequency
Pinch terminal growth tips every 3 to 4 weeks to trigger continuous lateral shoots and stop leggy growth.
🌡️ Temperature Range
Thrives between 18°C and 32°C. Keep away from direct air conditioner vents or extreme heatwaves.
