In addition, they should be pruned regularly. Also, it's important to change the basin.

1. Breeding environment

(1) soil: better drainage and more nutrition. The rotten leaf soil and garden soil can be mixed evenly, each accounting for half, and then a small amount of river sand can be added inside.

(2) light: plants are in good light, leaves are easy to fall if not enough, so sufficient light shall be provided. However, it is also afraid of strong light and needs sunshade in summer.

(3) fertilization: generally, it is not necessary to apply too much fertilizer. However, when the growth is not good, we can use some fertilizer containing potassium to help it grow.

(4) temperature: 15-32 degrees is the best. In winter, it's better not to be less than 7 degrees, and the worst not to be less than 4 degrees, or the plants will freeze to death. Summer should not be too high, or it will sleep.

(5) watering: different times of watering in different seasons. In the growing period, spring and autumn need to be watered about once every day or two. In summer, if you enter dormancy, the interval should be extended, about once every two or three times. If you do not sleep, it is the same as in spring and autumn. In winter, reduce watering, keep dry, even do not water directly.

2. Trim regularly

The plant grows fast, so the branches and leaves that are too dense and too long need to be cut off in time to avoid consuming too much nutrients. In addition, for those branches that hinder the viewing, they can also be cut to improve the viewing

3. Change basin

When the basin is changed, a layer of coarse particles is put in first as the filtering layer. Put another layer of base fertilizer, and then put the substrate. Separate the plant from the base fertilizer to avoid damaging the root.
