Through the seasons
Grows fast in summer and the monsoon. It rests in winter and may lose leaves to frost, so water less and keep it sheltered.
Comfortable at 10–42°C
Care steps
- Harvest whole stems rather than single leaves, so it branches out more.
- Pinch off flowers on young plants so the leaves keep coming.
- Feed compost or vermicompost monthly from March to September.
