A [Ball Seed plant sheet for a Conga cultivar](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=066006992006060) lists a 6–10 inch height and 8–10 inch width; actual size varies with pot and growing conditions. Series-level dimensions describe the typical Conga range; actual size depends on the pot and growing conditions. ## Maintenance Water when the surface of the potting mix begins to dry, then let excess water drain. Avoid leaving roots in saturated media. Remove damaged or uneven growth as needed to keep a pot balanced; the compact series is intended to flower freely without intensive shaping.
