During the growth period, watering should master "dry, wet, mainly wet". The amount of water to be watered depends on the temperature. The amount of water needed in spring and summer is more than that in winter.
It does not require high air humidity, but if water can be sprayed once in the morning and in the evening in summer, the leaf surface can be kept fresh. In winter, there is much dust in the room, so it is necessary to spray clean the leaves with water close to the room temperature every 5-7 days. From the beginning of new leaf development to the end of September, it is necessary to apply the thin liquid fertilizer mainly with nitrogen fertilizer every 2-3 weeks, and generally no fertilizer will be applied after October.
