Temperature: the required temperature is 10 ~ 20 ℃ and above 5 ℃ in winter. Light: like light, except in summer, do not expose to the sun, other seasons can receive sufficient light. Soil: peat perlite with good drainage can be used. Watering and fertilization: follow the principle of no drying and no watering, keep the air humidity around the plant, and do not apply fertilizer in high and low temperature seasons.

1. temperature

We should be aware that the temperature required for this plant is not too high, generally above 10 degrees. Of course, we'd better keep the room temperature around 20 degrees. Even in the cold winter, we can't let it be below zero centigrade. It's better to be above five.

2. light

Because it prefers light, we must give it enough light in the winter when the light is not strong, and we can't let the sun direct it in summer, because the exposure is not good for it, at this time we'd better cover some leaves to protect it. Other seasons also provide light.

3. soil

We don't need to provide it with perfect soil, because it only needs peat perlite with good drainage.

4. watering

If the temperature is high, we need to keep it wet. If the temperature is normal, we can wait until it is dry before pouring.

5. fertilization

Fertilization is also necessary, but there are certain requirements for quantity. Generally, we can apply more times between 16 and 30 degrees, and the amount of each time is less. If the temperature is relatively low or very high, it is better not to apply fertilizer.

6. ventilation

Ventilation is very necessary for it.

7. pruning

If a leaf goes bad and gets sick, we need to cut it off

8. humidity

It likes the humidity is not low, generally more than 75, so we need to take certain measures to meet this requirement

9. Precautions

Because it may appear insect damage, or the leaves may turn yellow. At this time, we should pay attention to that the former may be caused by environmental and maintenance problems, and need to use medicaments for treatment, while the latter may be caused by temperature and humidity, etc., so we should change the breeding conditions for it in time.
