During hot summer days, pay close attention to moisture levels as water evaporates quickly, to prevent the plant from drying out. [Repotting & Medium Management] Due to its vigorous growth, repotting every 1-2 years is recommended. The optimal time is early spring. After repotting, protect the plant from cold winds and frost to maintain its vitality. [Fertilizing Recommendations] Fertilizing Period: Mid-March to the end of June If the growing medium was changed in the current year, wait at least one month for the plant to stabilize and adapt before fertilizing to prevent root burn.
