Sunlight
Expose the plant to morning sunlight for 3 to 6 hours. Make sure to protect the plant from direct harsh sunlight as it may damage its foliage.
Manure Application
During the main growing season feed the plant with organic manure once a month. Loosen the topsoil so it can uptake nutrients and moisture easily.
Re-potting
When a plant outgrows from its current pot, re-pot the plant late evening and keep it in a shady area for 2 to 3 days. Then you can move the plant to its suitable climatic condition.
Watering
Water when topsoil i.e., 1-3 inches, feels dry to touch. Water thoroughly during the summer season and moderately in the winter and rainy seasons.
Soil
Make sure to well drain the soil and ensure that it is fertile rich in organic content.
Temperature & Harvest
Maintain the temperature between 18 to 25 degrees Celsius. You can harvest its leaves when they grow well and look fleshy.
Plant Protection
Get rid of the dead, infected, or damaged plant parts and dispose of them away from the planting area.
Plant Safety
Keep it away from small children, pets, extremely cold and hot areas. Avoid over-watering the plant especially when the pot does not have any drainage holes.
