The suitable temperature for its growth is 25-30 ℃. When the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, the leaves will be damaged by freezing, turn yellow and even wither. During the summer growing season, water should be regularly watered to keep the soil moist. At the same time, the leaves need to be sprayed to keep the leaves bright and glossy.
