1. Temperature: it can be in the temperature range of 20-30 ℃, and its growth is relatively vigorous. However, in a too hot environment, its growth will weaken, so it is better not to exceed 32 ℃. In addition, it is also a kind of cold resistant plant, so try to be above 10 ℃.

2. Light: it is a light loving plant, but it also has a good resistance to negative. In addition, it is afraid of strong light. According to these habits, it can be shaded in summer or put in a cool place. In other seasons, it can be put in the sunny place

2. Cultivation techniques

1. Reproduction: the seed reproduction method is mainly used. This method of reproduction is most widely used, but it takes a long time. First of all, we need to select the right seed to remove the rotten and dried seeds. After that, sandy soil or garden soil is selected as the matrix. After the seeds are sown, they should be covered with a layer of substrate with a thickness of about one centimeter. Then pour water and put it in the shade.

2. Pruning: Australian fir can be used as a bonsai. For bonsai, pruning is very important. It can be pruned from time to time. Due to its vigorous growth and rapid regeneration, Australian fir is more resistant to trimming. In addition, for some dry branches pruning, whether it is bonsai or ground planting, all need to be carried out.

1. Disease: there may be "anthrax". It is easy to happen in summer, so we need to use chlorothalonil in time to prevent and control it.

2. Insect damage: less insect damage, possibly "scale insects", can be controlled by insecticides such as chlorpromazine, etc., and it also needs more ventilation and more light to increase its disease resistance.

4. Other issues

1. Toxicity: it is non-toxic, and it has a very strong purification ability.
