Be aware that the berries are poisonous, won't you! Likes to be cool, bright light,moist compost, mist leaves frequently. Prune stems back by a half in February, keep compost nearly dry then repot in March. Stand pot outside for the summer, spray flowers, bringing it back indoors in September. Good luck! P.S. I hope that the website advice Darryluk gave you agrees with my book!
