3. Key points of cultivation

1. Light: It likes a bright environment and is not suitable for growing in places with strong light. When raising it, be sure to place it in a place with only scattered light and do not let it be exposed to direct sunlight.

2. Watering: It prefers moisture. During maintenance, it should be watered promptly and appropriately to keep its planting material at a certain humidity, which is very beneficial to its growth.

3. Change the soil: The planting material used to grow it cannot be used all the time and must be replaced regularly. Usually, it needs to be replaced every 1-2 years. This allows the plant materials to maintain sufficient permeability and prevents them from deteriorating and affecting the growth of the plants.
