(1) Soil utilization and fertilization. Suitable for growing in sandy loam with good drainage and rich organic matter. Potted substrates can be mixed with humus soil, garden soil and river sand. First, put ceramsite or coarse gravel on the basin bottom as the drainage layer, and then add the prepared culture soil. Change pots and soil every 2 ~ 3 years in spring; Applying decomposed organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer during the growth period; Apply NPK compound fertilizer every 20 ~ 25 days in vigorous growth period; Topdressing compound liquid fertilizer once every half month.

(2) moisture. Drought-resistant, waterproof and moisture-proof. Pot soil must have enough water to avoid water accumulation. Water regularly during the growth period to keep the basin soil moist; Sprinkle water around plants often, and spray a small amount on leaves to improve air humidity; Promote plant growth and increase leaf luster. Reduce watering in winter.

(3) illumination and temperature. I like warm and semi-cloudy environment. Suitable for greenhouse cultivation in northern China. The suitable growth temperature is 15 ~ 30℃, and the growth is slow if the temperature is too high or too low. Not cold-tolerant, the wintering temperature should not be lower than 10℃, and the temperature is too low to be vulnerable to freezing injury.

(4) plastic surgery. Pay attention to adjust the plant cluster and leaf position during the growth process to make the plant cluster neat. Always open the window to ensure the indoor air is fresh.

(5) reproduction. Reproduction mainly depends on ramets. Plant division occurs every 2 ~ 3 years, which can be carried out in spring and autumn. In combination with changing pots and dividing plants in spring, you can choose the mother plants that grow vigorously, gently emerge from the pots, shake off the soil at the roots and separate them from the places where the plants are not closely connected. Care should be taken to avoid damaging roots, leaves and buds.

(6) pest control. Spraying 5% malathion 1000 times solution can control scale insects and whiteflies.
