What is the growth pattern and size of Ganagra?

What are the water needs for Ganagra
Ganagra should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
What is the right soil for Ganagra
Ganagra loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.
What is the sunlight requirement for Ganagra
To ensure optimal growth, the Ganagra prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.
How to fertilize Ganagra
Repotting the Ganagra should be done either when it has doubled in size or on a yearly basis, whichever occurs sooner. Fresh potting soil with all the required nutrients, refreshed annually, will provide the plant with all the necessary sustenance, making the use of fertilizer unnecessary. Keep in mind that plants receive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
Is Ganagra toxic to humans/pets?
There is no verified data on the toxicity of this plant in the records of Ploi. If any person, including yourself, a family member, or a pet, consume plant material with an uncertain toxicity level, it is advisable to seek the advice of a healthcare expert.
What seasonal care does Ganagra need?
During the cold period, it is common for Ganagra to go dormant, resulting in a slowdown of growth. To accommodate this, waterings should be spaced out more.
