In summer, when the sunlight is intense, shade it promptly. It should be kept in a ventilated place for care. In winter it is generally grown indoors in a place with plenty of sunlight.

3. Temperature. Nandina domestica likes a warm growing environment; the suitable growing temperature is generally around 20°C, and the winter temperature should not be too low, generally needing to stay above 8°C. The flowering temperature is generally kept at 24°C——26°C.

4. Pruning. During the care of Nandina domestica, pay attention to regular pruning; during the growing season, cut off the suckering branches at the base, the densely growing branches and the branches with longer fruit clusters, leaving only one or two lower-growing branches to keep the plant shape attractive, while also helping it to bloom and bear fruit.
