Sunlight requirements

Thrives in bright indirect light to morning sun. Not suited for low light or harsh afternoon direct sun. However, as your tree matures, it can gradually adapt to withstand a few hours of direct sunlight.

Watering requirements

Water weekly, allowing the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. This plant will benefit from extra humidity.
