The pot should be kept moist, but not too wet or even waterlogged, otherwise the roots will rot easily. It has high requirements for air dryness and humidity.

2. Light: It is best to keep the Queen Ruyi in a sunny place, but avoid direct exposure to strong light. In summer, the flower pot should be placed on the north windowsill of the house. In winter, the flower pot should be placed on the south window. If the light is too dark, the color of the leaves will fade.

3. Temperature: The suitable daytime temperature for the growth of Ruyi Queen is 30 degrees, and the night temperature is most suitable at 25 degrees.

On the one hand, it can keep the leaves clean and increase their gloss, and on the other hand, it can cool down the leaves. In winter, spraying water should be reduced, otherwise spots will appear, and in severe cases, it may cause rot.
