– **Growth Habit**: It typically grows as a small tree or shrub, reaching heights of 3 to 6 feet indoors, depending on care and conditions.
### Care Tips

### Pruning

– Prune to shape the plant and remove any dead or yellowing leaves. This encourages bushier growth and maintains an attractive appearance.
