This plant is highly adaptable to most kinds of soil, as long as it has good drainage. It prefers a loamy soil, however, that is slightly acidic or neutral. The plant is drought tolerant, but likes having mulch around its base. and morning-only watering. It doesn't respond well to water that sits on the leaves.
