1. SoilIt is best to use soil rich in humus for this plant. To make the soil loose and fertile, sandy soil mixed with fertilizer is the most suitable choice. The moisture in the pot should be ensured, but it should not be too humid or even have water accumulation, otherwise the roots will easily rot. There are also relatively high requirements for the dryness and humidity of the air. 2. LightingThe most beautiful part of this plant is its leaves. It can tolerate shade, but it is better in sunny places. However, direct exposure to strong light should be avoided. In summer, the flower pots should be placed on the north windowsill of the house, and in winter, they should be placed on the south window. If the light is too dim, the color of the leaves will fade. If the sun is too strong, it will burn the leaves. 3. TemperatureThis plant likes warm places, generally the daytime temperature is 30 degrees and the night temperature is 25 degrees. In winter, it can survive even at 10 degrees, but it must be between 15-18 degrees to grow normally. If the temperature exceeds 25 degrees in summer, you need to spray water on the leaves to lower the temperature of the leaves. 4. Water and FertilizerThe pot of this plant should be kept free of cracks and moisture, and the leaves should be watered frequently in summer. This can, on the one hand, keep the leaves clean and increase their gloss, and on the other hand, cool the leaves. Watering should be reduced in winter, otherwise spots will appear, and in severe cases, rot may occur. During the growth period, in order to make it stronger, you can use some nitrogen liquid fertilizer. After autumn, apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to strengthen the stems and prevent lodging. 5. PruningIn order to make the plants grow better, they should be pruned in time. Pruning generally means cutting off the leaves of the plant that have turned yellow or are not growing well. Repeated pruning can make the leaves of the entire plant brighter and fuller. When the plant grows too tall, you can cut off the young shoots to encourage the growth of new branches and leaves, making it more beautiful. |
