Care tips for Tangshan

Watering and fertilizing: water moderately during the growing season, keep dry in winter. Fertilize once every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.

Ventilation and light: during the high temperatures of summer, the plant is in a dormant or semi-dormant state, growing slowly or completely stopping. It should be kept in a well-ventilated place for care, without fertilizing, with appropriate shading to avoid exposure to the scorching sun, and with controlled watering to prevent the plant from rotting due to stuffiness and dampness.

Temperature: in winter, place it indoors in a sunny place, with the temperature not lower than 10°C, and when there is a certain day-night temperature difference, water normally so the plant can continue to grow.

Propagation methods of Tangshan

Sowing: sow in early spring, germination temperature 21°C.

Leaf cuttings: carried out in late spring or early summer, cut plump leaves, lay them flat on a sand bed, and they root 10-15 days after insertion.
