How to Care for the Plant

Water
Make sure plants are watered well until established if planting in a drier period.
Pruning
Pruning dead leaves: yellow leaves and dead leaves should be broken off from the root, not only the dry parts of the leaves should be pruned, and the withered leaves can be removed after aging. Pruning roots: cut roots with cigarette butts to dry the cut places to prevent infection of roots. Water and apply fertilizer in the implanted soil. Do not prune roots of plants that have not yet blossomed. Pruning and decaying flowers: generally, cut off the stem directly, and smear red mold ointment on the cutting mouth.
