It likes moist conditions. Usually, it needs to be watered from the top to ensure that the soil is in a suitable moist state. If it is not too dry, it will not have a significant impact.
3. Temperature
The most suitable temperature range for its growth is 20 to 28 degrees Celsius. If it is below 15 degrees or above 32 degrees, the plant will go into dormancy. To make the plants grow stronger, it is best not to exceed the limit.
