You can always place it in a place with sufficient diffuse light, and try to keep the sunlight time no less than six hours a day. But strong direct sunlight must be avoided, and a slightly shaded or semi-shaded place is more suitable. 3. Watering: It likes semi-wet conditions and is afraid of waterlogging. Therefore, watering should be based on the method of "water thoroughly when dry". In other words, wait until the substrate is completely dry before watering, and water thoroughly each time.
