2. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry. Underwatering is okay while overwatering can lead to root rot.
3. You may need to try a few different lighting locations indoors, but gradually expose this plant to increased light to prevent leaf drops or burning. Direct sunlight in the afternoon can burn leaves. This plant grows best in indirect light or 5-6 hours of full sun in the morning with afternoon shade.
