The Benefits of the Peace Tree
1. Medicinal value: The bark of the Peace Tree can be used as medicine and has the effects of dispelling wind and dispersing cold, relieving pain and resolving blood stasis, and invigorating blood and strengthening the stomach.
2. Purifying air: The Peace Tree has effects such as purifying indoor air and absorbing decoration pollution. It is rich in cinnamon oil (the main component is cinnamaldehyde) and can emit a fragrance that corrects odors and purifies the air.
3. Feng shui effect: The Peace Tree can be placed in relatively spacious living rooms, balconies, and other places, because the Peace Tree is an evergreen plant that can change the indoor airflow, increase the indoor vitality, and let people feel a warm breath of life.

How to Grow the Peace Tree
1. Temperature: The Peace Tree likes a high-temperature and humid environment. The optimal temperature is 22°C to 30°C. When the temperature exceeds 32°C, shade the Peace Tree with a canopy and spray water on the leaves to increase humidity and lower temperature, so that it can maintain vigorous growth. In winter, the lowest temperature cannot be lower than 5°C.
2. Watering: The Peace Tree likes moist soil. Water an appropriate amount every morning and evening. In winter, spray more water and water less. There must be no standing water in the pot.
3. Light: The Peace Tree needs relatively good light, but is also fairly shade-tolerant. It is suitable for care in a semi-shaded environment. Its light requirement changes with age. If the light is too strong, it easily causes the leaves to turn yellow and lose their spirit, reducing its due ornamental value.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize the Peace Tree once a month. After autumn, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer 2 times in succession. In winter, all forms of topdressing should be stopped to prevent fertilizer damage to the roots.
5. Soil: Small plants should be repotted once a year, and large plants should have their soil changed once every 2 years. During the growing season, loosen the soil once a month. The best time for repotting and changing soil is in spring.
6. Pests and diseases: Aphids are likely to appear on the young leaves and new buds of the Peace Tree. After sprinkling plant ash on the plant, rinse it clean with water, then spray neem tree leaf juice, which can effectively kill insects. Use 10% imidacloprid wettable powder at 2000 times dilution for spraying and killing.
