[How to grow]
▼Placement
It grows in the dry regions of Australia, and prefers sunny, well-ventilated locations. It can tolerate some shade, but the leaves and stems look more beautiful in full light.
Although it is more cold-tolerant than most houseplants, it is safe to keep it above 5°C. If it gets too cold, it will lose its leaves.
In winter, if you are growing it near a window, close the curtains tightly, and if you have it in the entrance, move it indoors.

▼Watering
It is fine with moderate watering.
During the growing season from April to October, it is safer to wait for the soil to dry out thoroughly rather than leaving it constantly wet, as this will help prevent root rot.
In winter, it is fine to wait 3-4 days after the soil has completely dried before watering. If the plant is losing its leaves due to lack of water, reduce the interval between waterings.

▼Fertilizer
It will grow without fertilizer. If you do fertilize it, either liquid fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer will do. If you fertilize it too much, it will grow leggy, so it's best to use fertilizer sparingly.

▼Other points
They can tolerate heat, but do not like humidity. During the rainy season or when temperatures reach nearly 35°C in midsummer, move them to a well-ventilated area or use a fan to circulate the air.
