半日照環境,介質略乾就應澆水。每季施用一次長效性綜合肥料。隨植株生長枝條容易四散下垂,為維持美觀可以立支柱讓枝條挺直,以便欣賞下垂的花果。繁殖採用播種與扦插法。
Partial shade environment; water when medium soil becomes slightly dry and apply long-active compound fertilizers once every season. As branches tend to droop as they grow, using supportive pillars to keep them straightened so people can appreciate the beautiful pendulous flowers and fruits. Propagation is by seeding and cuttings.
花、果、葉都可賞的優質觀賞植物,樹蔭下或牆角處都很適合種植。因花序與果實下垂,建議種植於花台或用盆器墊高以便觀賞。
