Help me grow!

• I prefer dappled shade or indirect light during my growing season. I am a fan of side-facing light, so I periodically rotate my position to keep up balanced growth.
• Plant me in a fast-draining, well-aerated potting mix. Ensure that the drainage is good to avoid damaging the roots; do not let the soil be soggy.
• Feed me regularly, about every 4 to 6 weeks with a balanced and diluted fertilizer.
• To keep me healthy, transplant me into a new pot once it has reached a particular size. It is also crucial to repot me if you believe it is infected with root rot as that could damage or be fatal for me.
• Propagate me using the methods of layering or cuttings.
