Plant Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Requires full sun to thrive—at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
💧 Water: Water thoroughly when the soil feels dry to the touch. Let the soil dry out between waterings to avoid overwatering.
🌱 Soil: Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil. A sandy or loamy mix is ideal.
🌡 Temperature: Thrives in warm climates (65°F–90°F / 18°C–32°C) and is frost-sensitive.
🧰 Maintenance: Prune to control growth and encourage a bushier appearance. Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season.
📏 Size: Can grow up to 10 feet tall and wide in ideal conditions, but stays more compact in pots or containers.
