How to cultivate dogtail red

Temperature and light

Dogtail red likes a warm environment, is not cold-resistant and requires plenty of sunlight. The suitable temperature for its growth is between 20℃ and 30℃. Because it is not cold-resistant, the wintering temperature cannot be lower than 15℃. If it is lower than 10℃, frost damage will occur, and the leaves will turn yellow or even fall off.
