1、 Soil

It is best to use fertile acid soil with rotten leaves when cultivating purple horn leaves, which has the effects of drought resistance, disease resistance and insect pests

2、 Temperature

The temperature should not be too low during planting, otherwise it should not germinate. The temperature difference between day and night should not be too large. The plant is relatively heat-resistant. The optimum temperature for growth is 25-30 ℃, and the lowest temperature at night is no more than 15 ℃, so as to avoid yellow leaves and frostbite

3、 Watering

During the early growth and development of purple horn leaves, water frequently, do not cut off water, and keep the soil moist. The water volume can be adjusted according to the soil quality and air humidity. It is best to use clean water with good water quality

4、 Fertilization

The demand of purple horn leaves for fertilizer is not particularly large, and they like organic fertilizer. If possible, you can apply some fertilizer regularly, which is conducive to the growth and development of plants. It is best to cooperate with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to improve the resistance of plants

5、 Illumination

It needs plenty of light. If there is not enough light, it is easy to affect its growth and branching

6、 Precautions

1. Shelving: it is not suitable to be raised at home because of its certain spread. If it is raised at home, it is necessary to build a shelving and provide it with some vertical space for its growth

2. Change pots: plant one plant in each pot, and use larger flowerpots when changing pots
