When grown indoors it is best to put this in your sunniest window (south, south west exposure) and rotate it once a week. If kept outdoors place it in partial shade to prevent scorching. Keep the rootball moist, never let it dry out completely, but also avoid excess soil wetness. Drying out will kill the tree immediately.

Plants make great gifts for any occasion. Send some green with PlantShed, hand-delivered to NYC + NJ, 7 days a week.

Water

Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch feels dry. Reduce watering slightly in winter. Avoid letting it dry out completely.

Light / Temperature

Place in a spot with bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct morning light, but harsh afternoon rays should be avoided.

Pruning

Prune in early spring or after flowering to shape the plant and encourage dense growth. Use clean, sharp scissors and avoid cutting into old wood.
