Not other than Plant’s routine advice. This one’s a couple years old and I chopped and propped it a lot in the beginning and gave away starter plants. I’ve let it just go for a good while now in this summer I even put it out in a shaded area and it seems to like it.

Mine was chilling in thw bathroom growing slowly. I moved it into my bedroom in front of the window. It has grown much faster. It gets sun inches window, but large trees outside in my yard filter the strong afternoon sun, so it is okay there. I plan on adding a grow light in there because some of its neighbors in my bedroom window need more light. I will monitor to ensure it doesn't burn. It seems to like filtered light.
