Don’t get the leaves wet

They like their soil to dry out about halfway before watering again, they like a clear view of the sky.. they don’t really like to be touched or moved around a lot.

So when you find a spot it likes, it’s best to leave it be until you need to water or repot it if you see roots coming out of the bottom.

Bottom watering works best since the leaves don’t like to get wet..

I’ve had much better success from bottom watering
