💧 Watering Tips
-
Water early in the day.
-
Use rainwater or filtered water if possible (less chlorine, more natural pH).
-
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
🌱 Fertilization
-
Use a balanced, organic fertilizer (like fish emulsion or compost tea) once every 4–6 weeks during the growing season.
-
Avoid heavy nitrogen — it can produce too much leafy growth and weaken roots.
✂️ Maintenance
-
Remove dead or yellowing leaves regularly.
-
Mulch with leaf litter or coconut husk to retain moisture.
-
Keep weeds away to reduce competition for nutrients.
🐛 Pests & Diseases
-
Generally hardy if kept in shade and moist soil.
