Five color plum is a kind of plant growing in the tropics. It has weak ability to resist the cold and needs sufficient temperature for winter. In winter, it should be moved to a sunny place indoors, and the temperature should be kept above 15 ℃, and it should be properly fertilized, watered and pruned. If the temperature is not enough, it can only be maintained above 8 degrees, but it will enter the dormancy period.

I. winter method

Five color plum is a typical tropical plant, preferring to grow in the environment with high temperature and humidity. Its ability to resist cold is relatively poor. If the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, its leaves will fall and even die in case of ice and snow frost, so it needs to use certain methods to resist the cold. In winter, the air temperature outside the room is low, so we need to move the plum to a warm room and keep the temperature above 15 ℃. If the condition is not enough, the temperature can not be higher than 15 degrees, or the temperature can only be maintained above 8 degrees. But in this way, the temperature of the five color plum is not enough, so it can't continue to grow up, and it will automatically enter the state of dormancy. In this state, its demand for water and fertilizer is greatly reduced, so it can not apply fertilizer at this time, and the amount of water is also much less than other seasons. Lighting is also a very important condition, to put the five color plum in a place full of light

2. Precautions

1. The cold resistance of this plant is relatively weak, and it can't be placed outdoors, otherwise it is easy to suffer from low temperature and frost damage.

2. Even in the dormancy period when the water and fertilizer demand is not high, we should also pay attention to the maintenance.
