Aglaia odorata (mock lime) originates from the tropics and is not tolerant of low temperatures. Generally, from Frost's Descent to the Start of Winter it must be moved indoors, placed on a sunny windowsill or desktop, with the indoor temperature kept at 8-10°C, preferably not lower than 5°C. If the temperature is too high, it will grow tender shoots, reducing its adaptability and cold resistance. The plant should not be placed near a stove or the edge of a kitchen range; a plastic cover can be used to regulate temperature and humidity, but one or two slits must be cut at the top of the cover, so that the temperature and humidity do not become too high and affect normal growth.
When the potting soil is dry, water it a little, but do not fertilize. If the weather changes abruptly and the indoor temperature drops below 5°C, special warmth-preserving measures should be taken, such as moving the potted flower under a table at night, hanging a cloth curtain over the table, and laying straw matting underneath for warmth; you can also slip a plastic bag over the pot, then wait for the sun to come out the next day, remove the curtain, and move the potted flower back from under the table. In the place where Aglaia odorata is kept, it is not advisable to open windows for ventilation, so as to avoid cold wind damaging the plant.
That is all for the introduction. Placed in a room, it can absorb sulfur dioxide and chlorine from the air and purify the air.
