【Care instructions】
《Location》
In summer, when placing near a window, indirect sunlight through a sheer curtain is sufficient. Avoid direct sunlight. Strong sunlight can cause sunburn, so be careful.
"Kookaburra" is relatively shade-tolerant. However, in environments with insufficient sunlight, it can become leggy and weak.
If possible, move it to a different location depending on the time of day, such as allowing it to sunbathe during the day.

Proper airflow enhances a plant's metabolism and promotes good growth.
It also helps prevent root rot by encouraging the soil to dry out. When placing it by a window, occasionally open the window to allow air to circulate.
When using a circulator, be careful as direct airflow can be too strong.

《Watering》
Water only after the surface of the soil has completely dried. Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot and kill the plant.
Kookaburra is relatively drought-tolerant, so don't be afraid to wait until the soil is dry before watering.

《Fertilizer》
April to November is the general period for fertilizing.
Too much fertilizer can cause leggy growth or fertilizer burn.
It's best to dilute the fertilizer to about twice the recommended amount on the manufacturer's container and observe the plant's reaction before gradually increasing the concentration to minimize mistakes.
When temperatures are around 35℃, plants can experience summer fatigue, so it's safer to withhold fertilizer.

Both liquid fertilizer and slow-release fertilizer are acceptable.
