2. Light management: it prefers light. If it is cultured in a shady and cool environment for a long time, it will cause the purple on the edge of the leaves to fade, the leaves to become thinner, and the plants to wilt and become lifeless. It can be slightly shaded in summer to avoid direct sunlight from burning plants. In winter, it should be placed in a place with good indoor light for maintenance

During the vigorous growth period, the branches with good growth can be cut with sterilized instruments as cuttings, the bottom leaves can be removed, and the cuttings can be carried out after drying for one to two days. The survival rate is very high

2. Pruning method: its pruning can be carried out in combination with changing pots every spring. Cutting length and leaving short can promote plant flowering. Due to its vigorous growth and fast growth speed of branches, attention should be paid to pruning the branches affecting the plant type in time and shaping in time to maintain the beautiful shape of the plant

3、 Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Leaf wilting: it is a light loving plant. If it receives insufficient light, its leaves will wilt and lack vitality. It is best to place it in a sunny position for maintenance

2. Frostbite: it is dormant in low-temperature winter. At this time, watering should be controlled and room temperature above 5 ℃ should be maintained to avoid frostbite of plants
