🌞 Light & Placement

Thrives in full sun. Indoors, place near the brightest south-facing window or in conservatories. Outdoors, ideal for sunny balconies, patios, or terraces with shelter from harsh winds.

💧 Water & Humidity

Water thoroughly when the top 3–5 cm of soil feel dry. Allow excess water to drain completely. Prefers drier air typical of indoor European climates and dislikes overly damp conditions.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Plant in a well-draining Mediterranean or citrus potting mix. Repot every 2–3 years in spring to refresh soil and accommodate root growth. Ensure pots have drainage holes to prevent root rot.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Non-toxic to pets and humans – safe for households with cats, dogs, and children.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

Slow to moderate grower indoors. Can be propagated by semi-hardwood cuttings in summer, though this requires patience and stable warm conditions.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

Fertilise monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser to support healthy foliage. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows and light levels drop.

🐛 Common Issues

Yellowing leaves often indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Outdoors, watch for scale insects or aphids; treat infestations with neem oil or horticultural soap.
