3. Light: Do not use too strong light. It is better to keep the light intensity at 30%-40%.

4. Watering: Be sure to use an appropriate amount to ensure that the substrate is moist, and do not allow water to accumulate.

2. Change the pot regularly

It is best to repot once a year. In spring. Choosing new culture soil is the most important thing, and the selection criteria are the same as mentioned above. Also, pay attention to pruning. In addition to pruning the roots, dry branches also need to be cut off.

3. Breeding Methods

The main method is division, and the time is also in spring. Generally speaking, it can be done together with repotting. After taking out the mother plant, clear away the excess soil from the roots and then use a knife to divide it into several parts. Apply charcoal powder to the wound to prevent decay. Then plant them separately, three to five small plants in one pot. Finally, place them in a semi-shaded place, and after five days to a week, they can be grown normally.
