Summer: Avoid strong, direct sunlight, which can easily cause leaf scorching or wilting. Relocate to a cooler spot or use shade cloths or screens for protection. [Watering] Water thoroughly when the soil surface begins to feel dry. During hot summer temperatures, when moisture evaporates quickly, be mindful to prevent the plant from drying out. [Repotting & Soil Management] With vigorous growth, repotting every 1-2 years is advised. The optimal time is early spring. After repotting, protect the plant from cold winds and frost to ensure its vigor. [Fertilizing Recommendations] Fertilizing Period: Mid-March to end of June If repotting occurred in the current year, wait at least one month for the plant to stabilize and adapt before fertilizing to prevent root burn.
