1. Maintenance methods1. Temperature: Cross Star Brocade is a cool-loving plant, and it grows best between 15 and 20 degrees. It has a peculiar habit of going dormant when the temperature is high, so generally speaking it will not grow in the summer. In addition, the temperature must be kept above ten degrees in winter. 2. Light: Cross Star Brocade prefers light. It is slightly tolerant of partial shade, but in very dark places, its plant shape will become very loose, and the pink color on the edges of its leaves will become lighter or even disappear. Therefore, do not place it in a place that is too dark. But in summer, strong light should be avoided. 3. Watering: Cross Star Plant likes a slightly dry environment and is very afraid of waterlogging. However, you can water it a little more during the growing period, specifically from September to June of the following year. It will not grow when the temperature is high. 4. Fertilization: The season when Cross Star Brocade needs fertilizer is also the growth period from September to June of the following year.

Not only is the chance of success higher, but it can also shape the mother plant. As long as the temperature is suitable, it can generally be carried out. Choose strong branches with growth points, about three to five centimeters in length, and cut them off. After the wound has dried, it can be inserted into the matrix. Don’t water too much for now, water again after a few days. 2. Pruning: During the maintenance process, regular pruning is required. The main pruning is of branches that are too messy. After pruning, not only will its shape be better, but also the light transmittance will be better. 3. Problem diagnosis and treatment1. Diseases: There are often some diseases, especially in the summer when the temperature is high and the humidity is high. For example, "anthracnose", "leaf spot" and so on. Commonly used pesticides are carbendazim and the like, and timely pruning is required. 2.
