Ventilation and light: during high summer temperatures, the plant enters dormancy or semi-dormancy, growing slowly or halting completely. It should be kept in a well-ventilated place, not fertilized, appropriately shaded to avoid scorching sun, and watering should be controlled to prevent rot caused by stuffiness and humidity.
