Water: Soldaditos thrives in humid environments and requires weekly watering, maintaining water balance. As an evergreen, it retains moisture in its leaves, ensuring a vibrant green display year-round, even during dormancy.

Fertilize: Soldaditos thrives in standard garden soils. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it promotes foliage growth over flowering. Instead, incorporate small quantities of biological fertilizers like humus or peat into the soil at the start of the growing season in spring.

Pruning: Prune soldaditos in early spring to remove dead stems, promote growth, and control spread. Ensure good air circulation to minimize disease risk and enhance foliage density. Proper pruning during the growing season optimizes health and appearance. Refer to horticultural sources for comprehensive care guidelines.
