I. maintenance method

1. Temperature: like warmth, it can normally grow above 20 ℃ and below 28 ℃, neither too high nor too low temperature. The normal winter temperature is around zero, so it's better not to be below zero to avoid frostbite. The high temperature in summer should not be too high. If the temperature is higher than 35 ℃, the branches and leaves will dehydrate and wither.

2. Watering: sufficient water is required. During the growth period, the water requirement is the largest. Generally, the frequency of watering is once a day in summer. In autumn, water every other week. In winter, we should observe the change of soil. After the soil is dry, we can water it.

3. Light: it belongs to the light loving plant, but it prefers warm sunshine, so it can't be directly exposed by strong light. In summer, it needs to be moved back to indoor breeding. It's more resistant to Yin, but we should pay attention not to put it in a concealed place for a long time, or the branches and leaves will turn yellow.

4. Fertilization: fertilize it every half a month during the growth period, and the fertilization should not be too thick. But in autumn and winter, we can reduce fertilization.

2. Cultivation techniques

1. Propagation: cuttage can be used. The best time is from April to August every year, because the temperature is most suitable for its growth and development, and at the same time, the air humidity should be kept good.

2. Pruning: without fixed time, it's OK to observe its growth every day. If there are yellow branches and leaves, they can be removed directly. At the same time, some branches and leaves that grow too intensively should also be treated to increase light transmission and ventilation.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: leaf spot disease will occur, which will cause some irregular spots on the branches and leaves of the plant, which can be controlled with wettable powder.

2. Insect damage: the occurrence of insect damage is relatively small, and scale insects may appear in summer, but they can be avoided as long as the ventilation is proper.

4. Other issues

1. Toxicity: the juice has certain toxicity. If it accidentally touches the skin, wash it off with water as soon as possible, or some adverse reactions will occur.
