In winter, in a well-heated place it is allowed to put on a pallet with water.

For the summer it is better to place on a fresh atmosphere (in a park or on a balcony) in a shaded room.

Temperature regime : In summer the temperature should be moderate, in winter it is cool. In a warm place in the winter can discard the leaves.

Soil : Recommended soil mixture: 3 elements of turf, 1 share of leaf land, 1 share of humus and 1/2 elements of sand.

During the growth period, it needs regular fertilizing with complex fertilizers.

Breeding : Stem cuttings can easily take root in spring and summer. In the summer seeds are also sown.

Transplant : Every year in the spring.

Pests: Affected by a spider mite (in a dry atmosphere, leaves and stems are braided with cobwebs), scabbards (brown plaques appear on leaves and stems, leaving sticky discharge), scarlet flat tick (light speckles appear on the leaves).

The plant is allowed to help finish with a soap solution, warm washing and spraying with an actinic (1-2 ml per liter of water).
