Watering | Suspend water during the winter and resume again in the late winter or early spring. |
Soil | A standard potting mix should be fine. |
Temperature | With a minimum temperature of 10 C (50 F) |
Fertilizer | During the growing season, fertilize every week with a weak liquid fertilizer. It also works to include controlled-release fertilizer pellets in the soil. |
