First of all, we should take a look at its origin to better understand its habits and characteristics. It originated in Africa, that is, near the tropics, so we can infer that it has a large demand for water. It likes to grow in a relatively humid environment.
When we water, we must follow some general principles. First, the amount of water needs to be appropriate. It's better to dry it a little, but not too much. Second, the amount and times of watering should be adjusted according to the weather conditions. With the decrease of temperature, watering should also be reduced accordingly.
(1) first of all, in spring and summer, because the growth speed is relatively fast, in order to meet the strong demand of plants, we need to irrigate more water and times. Especially in the high temperature season in summer, the basin soil should be kept in a slightly wet state.
(2) by the end of autumn and even in winter, the water quantity and frequency should be reduced slowly. In the cold winter, you can not water it directly
(1) we say that this kind of plant likes to be wet, but it's not that the wetter the better, but to an appropriate extent.
(2) in order to avoid too much water to cause the basin soil to be too wet, we can choose the soil with good drainage performance, so that the excessive water can be discharged in time.
(3) in very hot summer, we can sprinkle some water on the leaf or air from time to time to supplement the evaporated part.
