• Feed: Every 4–6 weeks during active growth (spring and summer).

• Type: Balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.

• Skip: Fertilizer in fall and winter.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune: Remove yellow or damaged leaves; trim stems to control size and shape.

• Cleaning: Wipe leaves to remove dust and maintain shine.

• Repotting: Every 2–3 years or when root-bound.
