Variable leaf wood likes high temperature and humidity, can adapt to high temperature above 30℃ in summer, has a wide range of adaptation to light, is not cold-resistant and is afraid of drought. The temperature must be kept above 15℃ in winter, and defoliation will occur below 10℃. The requirements for soil are not strict, and it is better to have slightly sticky soil and good drainage.

It is more suitable for hardwood cutting in June-August when the temperature is high. Cut shoots about 10 cm, remove the lower leaves, insert them into sand or vermiculite after the juice of the incision is dried out, and then seal them with plastic film for moisture preservation, and take root after more than 10 days. When new leaves grow, they can be cultivated in pots. For varieties that are difficult to take root, high pressure method can be used to propagate. In July, peel off the skin with the width of 1 cm at the layering position, and then treat it according to the conventional method, and it can take root after about 1 month.

Potted soil can be prepared by mixing 3 parts garden soil, 1 part compost and 1 part sand or sawdust. During the growth period from May to 10, we should give enough water and spray water on the leaves and the ground every day to keep the air humidity high and the leaves clean. Apply cake fertilizer every half month.

Variable-leaf trees can adapt to a wide range of light, and can grow in semi-shade and full light in spring and autumn. If it is kept indoors for a long time, the leaf color lacks luster and is not bright. In summer, the sun is strong, so it should be shaded, and the light transmittance is 50% ~ 70%. For newly propagated seedlings, it is more suitable to put them in semi-shade from June to September. The lower parts of older and taller plants are often bare and leafless, which affects the appearance. It can be trimmed and reshaped according to the tree shape to keep the tree shape beautiful.
