Spring
Water when the soil is completely dry, typically every 2–3 weeks. Begin fertilizing monthly with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Increase light exposure with bright, indirect sunlight. Repot if roots are crowded or the plant has become root-bound.Inspect for pests as growth resumes.
Summer
Water more frequently, usually every 1–2 weeks, depending on temperature and humidity. Continue monthly fertilization. Provide bright indirect light; a few hours of gentle morning sun is beneficial. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot. If placed outdoors, protect from intense afternoon sun and heavy rain.
Fall
Reduce watering frequency to every 3–4 weeks. Stop fertilizing by late fall.
Move plants closer to bright windows as daylight decreases. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Check soil moisture carefully before watering.
Winter
Water sparingly, about every 4–6 weeks or when the soil is completely dry. Do not fertilize. Keep temperatures above 13°C (55°F).
Protect from cold drafts, heaters, and freezing windows. Provide the brightest location available indoors.
