Specialist Rachel Bull recommends checking substrate moisture with your finger before watering, ensuring good drainage without water pooling in saucers, adjusting light exposure as the days grow shorter, reducing and stopping fertilisation, and protecting the plant from cold drafts and heaters, keeping it within a temperature range of 15 to 24 degrees.
