I. maintenance method

1. Temperature: bamboo and plum are warm. Specifically, as long as it is above 14 degrees, it can grow normally. In winter, it needs to be cold proof, no less than eight degrees, so it's safer to let it survive the winter safely. In summer, the temperature should not be too high, or it will dry its leaves.

2. Watering: hanging bamboo and plum like to wet. It is not resistant to drought and waterlogging. Therefore, the growth period needs to be watered enough to keep the basin soil moist from time to time. If it is too dry, its leaves will wither. In winter, we can't keep the pot soil a little wet.

3. Light: the plant is afraid of strong light, but not completely without light. So it can be placed in the position of half Yin. In summer, when encountering strong light, it is necessary to shade in time, or directly put it in a cool and ventilated place.

4. Flower soil: the requirement for its pH is not too high. The main requirements are nutrition and air permeability. Available sandy loam

2. Cultivation techniques

1. Basin change: because plants have high requirements on the permeability of flower soil, and the flower soil is easy to agglomerate after a period of time, it is very important to change basin regularly. Generally speaking, it should be changed once every two or three years, and the interval should not be too short. Can often loose soil, in caking is very serious when need to change basin. The root system can be repaired at the same time.

2. Propagation: cutting method is mainly used. It's better from March to May. Choose strong branches as cuttings and cut them to seven to ten centimeters. Cut off part of the lower part of the leaf. Prepare a good quality substrate and then cut. Keep the temperature between 18 and 25 ℃.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: the main disease is "grey mould", which is easy to occur at high temperature. It can be used in time. Generally, it can be treated with two times of application. At the same time, we need to strengthen ventilation.

2. Insect damage: compared with diseases, insect damage is less, but sometimes occurs. For example, aphids will also appear, and they need to be eliminated in time before the quantity is increased.

4. Other issues

1. Toxicity: it is not toxic. No matter it is itself or the gas it emits, it is non-toxic.
