Temperature: red powder beauties have strict requirements on the maintenance temperature, and the maintenance environment temperature should be between 15 ℃ and 30 ℃; watering: more watering is needed when growing, from four to five times a week, and two to three times a week in the non growth period; fertilization: in addition to the base fertilizer used, it needs to be fertilized once a month; lighting: the daily lighting time should be maintained over five hours 。

I. maintenance method

1. Temperature: the temperature in summer is relatively high, and it needs to be controlled. It is better to ensure that it is below 30 degrees. The temperature in winter is relatively low, and the plant is not resistant to low temperature. If the temperature is below 5 degrees, it will be frostbitten. It is reasonable to control the temperature above 10 degrees in winter..

2. Watering: in the growth period, it consumes a lot of water. It needs to increase water properly. It's better to water it every other day. In the non growth period, it doesn't need too much water. It's OK to water it once every two or three days. It needs to be watered once before it winters, so as to make it winters smoothly.

3. Fertilizer application: it has a large demand for nutrients, especially in the growing period, it is not enough to rely on the nutrients in the soil alone, and it should be topdressing once a month. It's better to use special fertilizer or compound fertilizer with more meat for fertilizer application. The nutrients of these two fertilizers are more comprehensive and more suitable for red powder beauties

4. Illumination: it will change color with different illumination time. If there is less illumination, its color will be green. If there is more illumination time, its color will be red. In order to ensure its normal demand, the daily lighting time can not be less than five hours.

2. Cultivation techniques

1. Propagation: it can be propagated by cutting. First, cut the healthy branches from the plant, then insert them into the better drainage matrix, and put them in a cool place for maintenance, about 20 days can grow roots

2. Trimming: generally, it is not necessary to trim, only when it is relatively long and affects the beauty, it is OK to trim properly.

3. Problem diagnosis

1. Yellowing of leaves: the yellowing of leaves is mostly due to the poor breath of roots caused by excessive watering. It needs to be replaced with soil. When replacing soil, prune the rotten branches at the roots.

2. Droop of leaves: the problem of droop of leaves in plants may be caused by too strong light. It needs to be put in a cool place for a few days, and then control the light. The problem can be solved mainly by astigmatism

4. Other issues

1. Eating: it can't be eaten directly. Its function is not only to watch, but also to clean the air.

2. Whether it can be cultured at home: its plant body is not high, and it has less requirements for the conservation environment, which is more in line with the conditions of indoor culture.
