Weekly only water the plants 2-3 times, each time watering just enough to wet all the roots; Then wipe off excess water under the bottom of the pot.

Irrigation water

In case the home owner is busy working a new week to water plants once in a house; The tree will always be short of water and drought.

Temperature

When replacing the bowl, remove the whole plant; Then select pots larger than the old pot about 10 cm (height and breadth) to increase the volume of nutrients for the plant.

If the soft white patches on the tops; Remove the leaves by hand or take the plant out to wash the shower.

Then use garlic powder or chili to spray the body to help push the bugs attack the tree. Do not use spray pesticides in the home will affect people's health especially the elderly and children.

Fertilizer
