🌡️ USDA ZONE 8b - 10a. Can tolerate light frosts. The recommended minimum temperature is -2ºC. In winter, the substrate must remain dry.
☀️ For healthy and stress-free growth, it needs partial shade or a PAR radiation intensity between 20 to 25 moles of photons daily.

💧 Watering begins in spring as soon as the plant sheds its old leaves and reabsorbs them. When high summer temperatures arrive between July and August, they enter eco-dormancy and watering should be stopped. Watering resumes in September and continues until the end of the flowering period. In November, watering is completely stopped to facilitate winter dormancy. Always let the substrate dry between waterings.
