“Pick from the top of the stems. It branches out and becomes bushy instead of tall and thin.”

  1. 01

    Light

    Full sun, at least 6 hours a day.
  2. 02

    Well-draining garden or potting soil with some compost.
  4. 04

    Feeding

    Once a month. Compost or goat manure works well.

    What you'll need

    • Organic potting soil (tanah organik)
    • Compost or goat manure (baja kambing)
    • Scale Terminator, for scale and mealybugs

    All available here at the nursery.

Something wrong?

  • Yellow leaves

    Too much water, or hungry. Let the soil dry a little and feed it.

  • White fluff or small bumps on the stems

    Mealybugs or scale insects. Spray with Scale Terminator and repeat weekly.

  • Growing tall with few leaves

    Cut the top off. It sprouts new branches below the cut.
