There are many precautions to take when caring for flowers. Only when all aspects of the work are perfected can the plant flourish. The same principle applies to caring for red掌 at home. It is best to master the following tips to ensure that your red掌 plants bloom beautifully with shiny leaves!
1. Ensure proper growing temperature
Red掌 enjoys growing in warm environments. With the current weather, we must keep the plants warm during maintenance. The optimal temperature for caring for red掌 is around 23 degrees. If the temperature is too low, it can cause frostbite. Therefore, during winter, remember to place it in a warmer area to ensure its growth.

2. Choose suitable soil
Plant flowers need to absorb nutrients from the soil during their growth. Since red掌 is an acidic plant, we need to prepare some slightly acidic and fertile soil for its maintenance. To enhance the soil's aeration, we can mix some ceramsite in it, which helps prevent soil compaction and waterlogging, thus affecting the growth of red掌.
3. Provide adequate lighting
Red掌 potted plants are not light-loving, but they should not be kept in a dark place for long, as this can cause the leaves to wilt and blooming to be delayed. The best way to care for it is to place it in an area with sufficient scattered light, which can help it absorb the right amount of light nutrients. However, remember to take shading measures in summer to avoid strong light burning the leaves.
4. Master the appropriate amount of watering
Red掌 thrives in a moist environment, but this does not mean we should water excessively each time. Generally, we only need to keep the soil of red掌's pot slightly moist. Never leave standing water at the bottom of the pot, as it can easily cause root rot. Occasionally, we can also spray water mist on the leaves to maintain the humidity around. Additionally, red掌 potted plants can also be hydroponically cultivated, but remember to change the water regularly to ensure growth!
