“It takes trimming very well. Shape it little and often.”

  1. 01

    Light

    Full sun to light shade. Nagi prefers some shade.
  2. 02

    Water

    In pots, when the top of the soil is dry, which can be daily in hot spells. In the ground, the rain usually does it once it is settled.
  3. 03

    Soil & pot

    Garden soil that drains well.
  4. 04

    Feeding

    Slow-release fertiliser every 3 to 4 months.

    What you'll need

    • Organic potting soil (tanah organik)
    • Slow-release fertiliser (Osmocote)
    • Compost or goat manure (baja kambing)

    All available here at the nursery.

Something wrong?

  • Yellow or brown needles inside the plant

    Some shedding inside is normal. Lots of it means the roots are waterlogged.

  • Losing its shape

    Trim it lightly every few weeks.
