Soil: Use fertile, nutrient-rich, well-draining soil to support healthy root development and lush foliage.

Pruning: Trim the stems occasionally to encourage bushier growth and promote fresh leaf production.

Fertilizing: Apply a mild, balanced organic fertilizer during the growing season to support healthy growth.
