Summer: Avoid strong direct sunlight, which can easily cause leaf scorching or wilting. Move to a shaded area or use shade nets, curtains, etc., for light reduction. [Watering] Water thoroughly only after the surface of the growing medium slightly dries out. During summer, when temperatures are high and water evaporates quickly, pay attention to prevent dehydration. [Repotting & Medium Management] Vigorous growth suggests repotting every 1-2 years. The best time is early spring. After repotting, avoid exposing the plant to cold winds and air, to prevent impacting its vigor. [Fertilizing Recommendation] Fertilizing Period: Mid-March to the end of June. If the medium was changed in the current year, it is recommended to wait at least one month after the plant has stabilized and adapted before fertilizing to avoid fertilizer burn. [Important Notes] All potted plants sold do not include decorative items such as display objects, shelves, or bamboo mats.
