- If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes
- Water more often if you live in a hot area
- Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold or wet for long
- Protect from frost to prevent scarring
