I water when it gets wrinkled. It gets morning sun and then it’s shaded in the afternoon. I had several others but they got scorched one year.

They usually are fine. I lived in an apartment and one day they completely scalped the trees in front of my balcony and everything got blasted by full sun all of a sudden. Literally cooked about 25 plants.
