2. Light management: its light adaptability is relatively high. It can grow well in half shade, half sunshine or full day environment. When the light is strong, its leaf color is light, and when it is half shade, its leaf color is dark green. It is better to use half sunshine environment

3. It is suitable to grow in a warm environment from September to March, and it is suitable to be managed in a temperature of 21-27 ℃. It can still grow normally under high temperature above 30 ℃. The room temperature shall not be lower than 5 ℃ for overwintering. If the temperature is lower than zero, freezing injury is easy to occur

4. Water management: it likes to be wet. It can thrive when the basin soil is wet and the ambient air humidity is high.

When cutting, the hole shall be drilled in advance, and then about two-thirds of the cuttings shall be inserted into the basin. After cutting, water shall be sprayed to maintain the environmental humidity and placed in the indoor weak light position for maintenance

2. Pruning method: the pruning of old plants can be carried out in combination with changing pots, cutting off old branches, diseased branches and bare branches, cutting off some roots and re potting. Young plants should be cut gently. Because they are easy to germinate bare branches, they should also be trimmed in time at ordinary times, which is conducive to promoting the growth of side branches and maintaining the beauty of the tree shape

3、 Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: its high incidence disease is leaf spot, which can be reasonably sprayed with liquid medicine every 10 to 15 days according to the instructions

2. Frostbite: when the temperature is low in winter, appropriate cold prevention measures shall be taken. If the temperature is lower than 0 ℃, plant frostbite may be caused
