Refer our Garden Guide for detailed procedures and meanings of words related to gardening.

Light Requirement

• More than 6 hours of sunlight a day is ideal for plant to grow well and natural direct bright light for the rest of the day.

Soil

• The soil should be well drained and fertile, rich in organic content for growing plant.

Watering

• Poke your finger/plain small stick into the soil to check the moisture.
• Apply 4 cup (Approx. 200 ml) water when top soil (1-2 inches) in pot feels dry to touch.
• As rule of thumb, Water the plant thoroughly in the summer and reduce watering in winter and rainy season.
• Do not over-water the plant.
• Apply water preferably in morning or evening.

Application of Fertilizer

• Loosen the topsoil without disturbing the roots of the plant so it can uptake the nutrients and moisture easily.
• During the main growing season feed the plant with organic fertilizer once a month (Oct-Jan).
• Apply water immediately after application of fertilizer.

Re-potting

• When a plant outgrows in current pot, re-pot with fresh potting soil and some fertilizer.
• Do the re-potting late evening and keep the plant in shady area for 2 to 3 days and then move the plant in its suitable growing condition.
