It prefers plenty of sunlight, although it should be protected from direct midday sun in very hot climates. It can adapt to direct sun in areas with moderate temperatures. Its leaves take on a reddish hue if exposed to too much direct sunlight.

Aphids and scale insects are the most common pests affecting it. Regular inspection and cleaning will help prevent severe infestations.
