First of all, it requires temperature. As we said above, it was originally planted in Africa, that is, in the tropics. For this reason, it likes a warmer environment. Although it has a certain degree of cold resistance, if the temperature drops to 10 ℃ or below, its growth will basically be in a state of stagnation, and low temperature will make cells with a lot of water necrosis due to frost. So, we know that we need special care in winter.
The following is water. It does not require high water quantity and has certain drought resistance, but it will not work without watering for a long time, and its leaves will shrink. But also need to pay attention to it is particularly afraid of waterlogging, so to avoid soil water.
Again, ventilation is very necessary.
Temperature: it has been mentioned above, and here we add that the most suitable temperature is within the range of 15 ℃ to 20 ℃. Let's mainly talk about winter treatment. Of course, indoor maintenance is the first thing. Although the temperature is not good enough to be kept within the appropriate range, it must be at least 12 degrees above, so as to make it survive the winter safely. If the temperature can not be guaranteed, we need to take other insulation measures, such as covering film.
Water: this factor needs to be dealt with scientifically, neither without watering nor allowing too much water to accumulate in the soil. In order to achieve this goal, we usually choose to wait until the soil is dry before watering. In addition, the container also requires good drainage.
Ventilation: especially in high temperature or wet season in summer, ventilation is necessary.
