☀️ Light Requirements

• Prefers bright sunlight for at least 4–6 hours a day.

• Follow the “soak and dry” method — water thoroughly and let the soil dry completely before watering again.

• Overwatering can cause root rot or mushy leaves.

• Reduce watering during winter dormancy.

💧 Water only when the leaves start to look slightly soft or wrinkled.
