3. Precautions

This is a semi-evergreen shrub or small tree. Its origin is in countries such as Mexico and Guatemala, which are all countries with relatively low latitudes. Because it is a shrub or tree, its height may be very high, even reaching thirteen to fifteen meters, and its diameter may reach twelve to seventeen centimeters. Next, let’s learn how to raise it.

1. Habits

First of all, it likes relatively warm conditions, which we can also infer from the latitude of its origin. Second, it requires more water, especially when it grows very fast. In addition, it also requires a lot of sunlight and likes to grow under warm sunlight. There are also some requirements for soil, which we will mention below.

2. Breeding methods

1 .Temperature:

The appropriate temperature is of course around 20 degrees. You don’t need to pay too much attention in spring, summer, and autumn, as the temperature will basically not be too low. However, in winter, friends who breed in some northern or higher altitude areas must pay attention. Generally speaking, the temperature in winter must be controlled above eight degrees Celsius to ensure that it survives the winter intact. If the temperature is lower than this limit, then some measures to prevent the cold must be taken.

2. Moisture:

During its vigorous growth period, mainly in spring and summer, we can appropriately increase the amount and frequency of watering. At the end of autumn and throughout the winter, we basically don't need to water because there is not much demand at this stage.

3. Sunshine:

Usually, the plant can receive as much light as possible, which is extremely beneficial to its growth. Especially in winter, it is very helpful for it to survive the winter. However, in order to prevent sunburn at noon, it is better to provide adequate shade.

4. Soil quality:

Its specific requirements for soil are to be as loose as possible, rich in nutrients, and with good drainage and aeration.

3. Precautions

When it rains frequently in summer, be careful to take some drainage measures.
