Potted anchovies should be mixed with 2/3 humus soil and 1/3 garden soil, and a small amount of river sand should be added as culture soil, and a little long-acting fertilizer such as hoof pieces can be put at the bottom of the basin as base fertilizer. In order to facilitate drainage, the bottom of the basin should be padded with some gravel or tiles. Water every 1 ~ 2 days from spring to autumn to avoid water accumulation in the basin. Summer is hot and hot, with the temperature above 30℃; Plants are in dormancy and semi-dormancy, so water should be controlled. At the same time, we should also do a good job of shading and cooling, spray water on the ground around the basin 2 ~ 3 times a day, and pay attention to ventilation. In winter, the watering frequency should be reduced appropriately to keep the basin soil slightly dry.
Extensive cultivation management, generally no fertilization. If the growth is too weak, you can add some liquid fertilizer containing potassium or add thin decomposed cake fertilizer water once a month during the growing season. The optimum growth temperature of Papilio Papilio is 15 ~ 25℃, the overwintering temperature should be kept above 7℃, and it is vulnerable to freezing injury below 5℃.
Hot summer and strong sunshine are not good for plant growth. In winter, move the flowerpot to the sunny place in the shed to keep its leaves green. Generally, change the basin once every 1 ~ 2 years, with loose and fertile soil and good drainage.
During the growth period, the branches that are too long and too dense are moderately pruned to keep the plant posture symmetrical and the tree is strong; Turn the pot once every half month to avoid the deviation of branches and leaves and affect the appearance. If the light is insufficient, more attention should be paid to prevent the roots from rotting and defoliating due to damp heat.
