Dear Mani ji,
The plant does require shade. One need not fertilize it so much.
However if the climate in your area is dry, you may have to use a mist
sprayer during summer. The plant is susceptible to rot due to fungal
infection. One could use a spray of Pseudomonas florescence (a
bacteria that inhibits growth of most fungi).
Regards
Yazdy.
