The main growing period is in spring, early summer, and autumn.
Care guide: It prefers environments with abundant sunlight, warmth, and dryness, is not cold-tolerant, dislikes moisture, high humidity, excessive heat, and overly shaded conditions, and is drought-tolerant and semi-shaded. The main growing period is in spring, early summer, and autumn, requiring ample sunlight, otherwise, insufficient light can affect the leaf color and luster. Keep the potting soil moist but not waterlogged. During the hot summer, the plant is in a dormant or semi-dormant state, growth is slow or stops completely, and it should be placed in a well-ventilated, cool, and bright area without direct sunlight. Do not water excessively to prevent rot. In winter, place it in a sunny area indoors with temperatures above 10°C to keep the plant growing, and water appropriately. If the potting soil is kept dry, the plant can enter dormancy and can tolerate temperatures as low as 5°C.
Cultivation medium: It requires loose, fertile soil with good drainage. A mixture of garden soil, coarse sand, or vermiculite (each 2 parts) and decomposed leaf soil (1 part) can be used, mixed evenly, and supplemented with a small amount of bone meal and chicken or cow manure as a base fertilizer.
Watering: During the growing period, water thoroughly when dry. In high summer temperatures, the plant is in a dormant or semi-dormant state and does not require excessive watering. Control watering in winter, and stop watering when temperatures are below 5°C.
Fertilizing: During the growing period, apply a thin solution of decomposed liquid fertilizer or a low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus, and potassium compound fertilizer every half month. However, the dosage should not be excessive to avoid stem and leaf elongation, increased internode spacing, and a loose plant, which can severely affect its ornamental value.
Pruning: When the plant fills the pot, pot replacement can be performed in spring.
