Care Guide

☀️ Sunlight (Most Important)

• Give 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Full sun keeps the foliage bright silver and compact.
• Too much shade makes the plant green, weak, and leggy.

🪴 Soil

Use a well-drained, sandy soil:

• 40% garden soil
• 40% coarse river sand
• 20% compost or vermicompost

Never let water stand around the roots.

💧 Watering

• Water only when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil is dry.
• During the rainy season, water very little if the pot receives rain.
• Overwatering is the main cause of root rot.

🌡️ Temperature

• Grows best between 18–32°C.
• Tolerates heat if grown in full sun with good drainage.

🌿 Fertilizer

• Feed lightly every 2–3 months with a small amount of compost or vermicompost.
• Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer, which reduces the silvery color.

✂️ Pruning

• Trim the tips regularly to encourage a dense, bushy plant.
• Remove any dead or dried stems.
