Evergreen flowers and leaves, from its name we can know that its plants are green all the year round, often as a potted ornamental. Its stem is thick and fleshy, and its height is about 1.5m. Leaves appear very large and bright, often growing on stems. What if it grows slowly when it is raised? Then we need to find out the reasons for this, to solve it.

1. Caused by light

Although it prefers warm and sunny places, it can't let the strong light direct. When it is exposed to the strong light, it will make its leaves dull and affect its growth. We say it grows too slowly. Therefore, when encountering strong light, it must be blocked in time. But also can't let the light be insufficient, the most basic condition of any plant growth is the light, if the light is not enough, then the plant's ability to absorb nutrients will be weakened, and metabolism will be slow, so it will cause its growth stagnation, at this time, we must give it proper sunlight.

2. Soil causes

In the process of its growth, the soil should also be very important, which is its root, so when choosing the soil, we must choose some that meet its growth requirements. If the selected soil is not well drained, or not loose and fertile enough, it will also affect its normal growth. So we need to find some more fertile and drainage good soil, in addition to the choice of flowerpots, but also to see its drainage.

3. Fertilizer causes

From June to October every year, it will enter its growth period, which is the most vigorous period of its growth. At this time, it needs a lot of nutrients. If it can't meet the requirements, it will slow down its growth. Generally, we need to apply fertilizer to it once in about 10 days. After autumn, we can apply another two times of phosphate fertilizer. Only in this way can we meet the needs of its growth and grow normally

4. Diseases and insect pests cause

When growing, it will inevitably be attacked by various diseases, which will directly hinder its growth and slow down, so we must timely observe our plants to see if there are any diseases, if there are any, we need to adopt some methods to eliminate them in time, so as to recover its growth.
