Care Instructions:
- Sunlight: Loves full sunlight and should be placed in a spot where it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.
- Watering: Water sparingly. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Over-watering can cause root rot, so it’s crucial to water only when the soil feels dry.
