Their fruits are berries, some are spherical, some are long spherical, and their colors are red and purple, which has high ornamental value. They are very suitable for family potted planting. They can decorate the balcony, study and living room.
They all like the semi shade environment very much. In summer, they should be placed in the environment with 50% light, otherwise the exposure will make their stems yellow. If placed in a dark environment, plants will only grow stems and leaves without flowering. They should be placed indoors in winter, with a temperature between 5 and 8 ℃, and the amount of watering should be reduced. After the temperature rises in spring, they begin to grow again. The amount of watering needs to be gradually increased and the soil should be kept moist.
