When choosing potted Hongjuan, you should choose the plants with full leaves, thick and upright stems and branches, and beautiful plant shape.
In addition, we should pay attention to the flourishing leaves, which are medium green to red in color. There are white short silky hairs on the end of the leaves, and there is no defect, no plant damaged by diseases and insect pests.
For the potted plants just bought back, they are suitable to be placed on the windowsill or balcony with sufficient light and good ventilation. Remember to avoid direct sunlight, but they should not be placed in the hidden corner without light. At the beginning of watering should not be too much, basin soil moisture can be moderate. In summer, when the high temperature air is extremely dry, it should also be watered too much. It can spray water around the plant, a small amount of water can be sprayed many times, and it is not allowed to spray water directly to the leaves. Low temperature in winter, should be placed indoors in a warm and sunny place.
Like warm, dry, well ventilated and well lit environment. It is not cold resistant, so it is necessary to take heat preservation measures in winter. Relatively drought resistant, avoid excessive water, affect growth, avoid direct sunlight in summer, pay attention to shade. The optimum growth temperature is 18-22 ℃, and the minimum temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃. The soil should be loose and permeable, more fertile and well drained sandy soil.
If it is self planted, choose a small basin with good ventilation. The basin soil is a mixture of rotten leaf soil and coarse sand, with a small amount of bone meal and organic fertilizer. Generally speaking, basin utensils can be changed once every two years.
During the growth period of spring and autumn and early summer, the basin soil was kept slightly wet, and the watering was not too frequent. The excessive humidity led to the growth of leaves too fast, the plant type was not well controlled, and the ornamental effect was affected. In winter, the room temperature is low. It is better to keep the basin soil dry. When the temperature is lower than 5 ℃, it will sleep on its own. It is not suitable to water after sleeping.
Apply fertilizer once a month. Use the diluted cake to fertilize the water or "Huiyou" 15-15-30 potted flower fertilizer. Do not apply too much fertilizer, otherwise it will easily lead to leaf migration growth, leading to accelerated aging.

When changing basin in spring, prune the dead leaves at the base of leaf disc, or subtract the long fibrous roots or adjust the plant type according to your preference.
Hongjuan is usually propagated by sowing and cutting. In spring, the temperature is 20-22 ℃, which is easy to germinate by indoor pot sowing. After sowing, there is no need to cover the soil layer and screen a layer of quartz sand. Generally, it germinates about two weeks after sowing, and the seedlings grow slowly. The buds at the base of the leaf disc can also be cut in spring and autumn, inserted into the sand bed for propagation, rooting can take place after 2-3 weeks, and then transplanted into the basin after 2 weeks.
