Demand for water

First of all, we should know that this plant is native to the vicinity of the Americas, that is, the tropics, where the water is relatively sufficient, so its requirements for water are generally more. Moreover, if we control the factor of watering, the strange phenomenon we mentioned above will appear. The specific explanation is that where its leaves and stems are connected, there is a different part from other plants, called "leaf pillow", which contains cells that can store water. If there is enough water at night, the leaves will stand up. If the water is insufficient during the day, the leaves will expand

Watering methods in different periods

In spring, summer and autumn, the growth rate of plants is still relatively fast, so the treatment is basically the same, and it is OK to keep the basin soil moist. When the temperature is very high in summer, you can often spray some water on the leaves or the environment around the plants

Basically, there is no need for watering in winter, even if the amount of watering needs to be strictly controlled. Generally speaking, it is good for the soil to be dry. If the leaves of the plant appear a little dry at this time, don't worry too much. It is normal at this time, and it will return to normal after the temperature rises in spring, and new leaves will grow

Precautions

Plants also have certain requirements for air humidity, preferably about 65-75%, not more than 85%. If the moisture level is not up to the requirements, it can be humidified by spraying. p>

Another point is that if we want to see the strange phenomenon mentioned at the beginning, we can regulate the watering time and water at night
