栽培 Cultivation

全日照環境,幼株稍耐陰。高溫生長期須充足供水,春至秋季每季施用一次長效性肥料。栽培環境應通風,以預防介殼蟲危害。以種子或扦插繁殖,播種需用新鮮種子發芽率才高。

The plant normally grows in full sun environments; saplings are slightly shade-tolerant. Water the plant regularly during the high-temperature growth period, and long-active fertilizers are applied once a season from spring to autumn. The planting site should be ventilated to prevent scale insect damage. Use seeds or cuttings to propagate, advised to use fresh seeds for higher germination rate.
