In order to check if the soil is dry, you can use your finger and feel the top inch of soil of the plant. During the warm months, it is better to water the plant every 2-3 days depending on the temperature, light, and humidity levels. During colder months, every week should be enough.

Cut back any dead or damaged stems to the base, and selectively remove any stems that may be too tall or unruly. Do not remove more than 1-third of the plant's foliage at any given time.Adding a layer of mulch once the pruning is complete can help to stimulate new growth and protect the plant from extreme temperatures.
