🌿 Planting & Care Highlights

• Allow plant to acclimate for several days after arrival
• Avoid repotting or fertilizing for the first 3–4 weeks
• Place in low to medium light initially, then gradually transition to full sun
• Water only when soil begins to dry
• Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot

For outdoor planting, choose a sunny location with good airflow and well-draining soil. Mulch around the base, keeping mulch a few inches away from the trunk.
