It works best when grown with steady light, regular harvesting or pruning, and enough space for its growth habit. Start small, watch the plant shape, and thin seedlings when needed so the strongest plants get room to develop.
Seeds germinate slowly and need steady moisture.
Young stems strengthen while roots establish.
Begin light harvesting once the plant has several strong stems.
Trim lightly and avoid removing too much at once.
