The growth temperature of haemophylla needs to be kept at 20 ℃ ~ 25 ℃, and keep warm in winter. There shall be no ponding, but sufficient water shall be maintained.

I. maintenance method

1. Temperature: haemophylla is suitable for growing in warm environment. Its cold resistance is not very high. The most suitable growth temperature is between 20 ℃ and 25 ℃. At the same time, we need to keep warm in winter. The temperature should not be too low. It's better to control it above 10 degrees. If the temperature is as low as about 5 degrees, the branches and leaves of the plant will be frostbitten.

2. Watering: haemophylla likes to wet some environment, but the drainage of the soil is better, because there is no ponding, which is easy to cause the plant's branches and leaves to fester. Enough water can make it grow more vigorous. The humidity in the air should also reach 70%. In summer, spray water mist around it.

3. Light: the growth of haemophylla has the highest requirement for light, because sufficient and warm sunshine will make its color more beautiful. If the light is not enough, the overall color of the plant will be dark and unsightly. If the light is too strong, the color of the plant will become lusterless, and the golden stripes on the leaves will become a little acne. The normal light will make its branches and leaves red and shiny, and the golden lines are very clear.

4. Fertilization: the fertile soil can make it grow stronger. It needs to be applied with some thin fertilizer. During the peak season of growth, you can apply fertilizer every other month. Pay attention not to contaminate the branches and leaves with fertilizer.

2. Cultivation techniques

1. Propagation: the branch is its main mode of propagation, which can be carried out in spring when the basin is changed. The branches and leaves of haemophylla are very fragile, so don't break them when the branch is divided. After it is divided into several parts, it is necessary to dry the wound before planting.

2. Pruning: the growth ability of haemophylla is not very prominent, so it is not necessary to prune every month, but occasionally there will be yellow branches and leaves. At this time, you can prune and cut off some side branches without ornamental value.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Although sheath rust doesn't bring life danger to it, it is very ugly. This disease is concentrated on the leaves and can be controlled by spraying chemicals.

2. Insect damage: scale insects will occur, because its leaves are very fragile, so you can't brush them with a brush. It's better to spray Omethoate solution to prevent them.

4. Other issues

1. Toxicity: no poison, and the whole plant can be used as medicine, with high medicinal value.
