Matrix: it is better to select the acid soil with deep soil and good drainage and air permeability, which is conducive to its growth. Light: it has a strong adaptability to light, and the cultivation environment is better with half sun. Temperature: it grows well at 16 ℃ - 27 ℃. Water content: it likes humid environment. Basin soil should be kept in wet state, but should not be over waterlogged.

1. Matrix selection: it has relatively low requirements for soil. It is better to choose acid soil with deep soil, fertile soil and good drainage and permeability, which is conducive to its growth. Potted plants can be mixed with sapropel, roving and peat.

2. Light management: its light adaptability is relatively high, and it can grow well no matter in half shade, half sunshine or all day environment. When the light is strong, its leaf color is lighter, while when the light is half shade, its leaf color is thick green, and the half sunshine environment is better.

3. Temperature management: it likes warm environment. It is suitable to grow at 21-27 ℃ from March to September, and 16-21 ℃ from September to march of the next year. It can still grow normally in the high temperature environment above 30 ℃. Winter should be kept at room temperature not less than 5 ℃, if the temperature is below zero, it is easy to freeze.

4. Water management: it likes to be wet. When the basin soil is wet and the ambient air humidity is high, it can thrive. However, if the basin soil has too much water, it is easy to cause root rot. If the environment is dry and wet for a long time or short of water, it is easy to cause falling leaves.

2. Cultivation techniques

1. Propagation method: it can be propagated by sowing or cutting. The cutting method can be combined with basin changing or spring heavy cutting. Take 10-15cm branches as cuttings, remove the bottom leaves, keep the top three to four leaves, and cut the bottom into a slope. When cutting, drill holes in advance, and then insert about two-thirds of the cuttings into the basin. After cutting, spray water to maintain the environmental humidity and place it in the indoor weak light position for maintenance.

2. Pruning method: the pruning of the old plant can be carried out in combination with basin changing. The old branch, diseased branch and extra long branch can be cut off, part of the root system can be cut off and potted again. Young plants are suitable for light pruning, because they are easy to sprout long branches, usually should also pay attention to timely pruning, which is conducive to promoting the growth of lateral branches, to maintain the beauty of the tree.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: its high incidence disease is leaf spot disease, which can be controlled by spraying chemical solution reasonably every ten to fifteen days.

2. Frostbite: when the temperature is low in winter, appropriate measures should be taken to prevent frostbite. If the temperature is lower than 0 ℃, it may cause frostbite of plants.

4. Other issues

1. Placement position: the leaves are elegant and the trees are beautiful. The potted plants can be placed in the living room, bedroom and study for breeding, with the effect of purifying the air.
