Plant cultivation:

All are planted in small pots, using leaf mold plus river sand as the growing medium. Keep the potting soil moist, and do not water until it is dry. Provide appropriate shading in summer, and apply fertilizer 2 to 3 times a year. The overwintering temperature in winter should not be lower than 5°C. Because it grows slowly, the potting soil does not need to be changed every year.

Main value:

For display indoors in the home, decorating desks and balconies.
