How to Care for the Plant

Water
Red pagoda gets its deepest, most vibrant color in winter in a bright location. plants located in sun develop hues that are rich and jewel-like. the plant has low water needs but it is best to follow a regular schedule of watering in the first year to force a vigorous root system.
Pruning
Remove dead leaves.
Fertilizer
Liquid fertilizers are applied more frequently, bi-weekly or monthly, for example. Granular products are used less frequently, perhaps once every month or two. Slow-release houseplant fertilizers break down slowly and release their nutrients in small amounts, over a longer period of time. A single application of most of these products lasts for three to four months.
