Before watering, it is recommended to touch the soil surface with your hand to confirm that the surface is dry before watering. Generally, in hot summer, more watering may be needed, while in winter, the watering frequency should be reduced. In addition, after watering, if there is water accumulation at the bottom of the pot, it should be poured out in time to avoid damaging the root system.
Regarding the supply of plant nutrients, during its growing season (such as from April to October), it is recommended to use a balanced compound fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in small amounts and multiple times to add nutrition to it. Liquid fertilizer can also be used, but it should be diluted with water before fertilization. No fertilization is needed in winter.
