When the ambient temperature is very high, shade it appropriately with a shed; in winter the temperature must not be lower than 8°C.
2. Humidity: The Radermachera sinica likes humidity; keep indoor humidity between 70-80%. If the humidity is too low or it is kept in a dry environment for a long time, the leaves will curl and turn yellow, thereby affecting its ornamental value.
3. Light: The Radermachera sinica relatively likes light and can also tolerate a little shade; full sun and semi-shade environments are both acceptable. Potted plants should be placed by a window with ample light while displayed indoors. If placed in a dimly lit room for a long time, it easily causes leaf drop.
4. Watering: The Radermachera sinica likes moisture and fears dryness. During the seedling stage keep the seedbed moist; in hot and dry seasons pay attention to supplying water. To prevent excessive growth, watering can be controlled when new shoots emerge in spring; in summer and autumn spray regularly, but do not water too much, so as to avoid waterlogging and root rot.
6. Soil: The Radermachera sinica likes loose, fertile, well-drained soil rich in humus. You can mix garden soil + leaf mold + decomposed organic fertilizer + river sand in a 5:3:1:1 ratio, and at the same time add perlite or vermiculite to the soil to avoid soil compaction.
7. Fertilizing: The Radermachera sinica grows relatively quickly and needs more nutrients, so during the growing period it needs frequent fertilizing. Generally a mixed fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in equal proportions is fine, and diluted thin fertilizer water can also be used instead of clean water. Stop fertilizing in winter.
