In the light of the balcony or window easily appear yellow leaves, dry symptoms, although more drought-resistant, but for the watering piece, can not be too dry or too wet, potting soil permeability to be very good. In addition, it must be ventilated from time to time, otherwise it is easy to breed germs in the confined and humid situation. Therefore, the requirement of shallow rather than deep pots, the bottom of the best holes and pot material through the drainage is good.

If it is placed indoors or meeting rooms, offices, such relatively formal occasions focus on aesthetics, it is recommended to choose porcelain pots, glazed ceramic pots, the disadvantage is that the breathability is almost, the survival rate is lower, more stringent requirements for the daily maintenance of some.

But the pot is too big, the nutrients are not easy to concentrate; if it is a small pot, with the late growth, lateral roots continue to grow, easy to affect the late growth and development of the whole plant. Comprehensive the above two points, we can according to the height of the seedling plant, the degree of development of the previous root system in the pre-growth period to choose a slightly wider than the appearance of the root of the 20-25 centimeters of the pot, later if the maintenance of good, good growth, and then choose to change the pot for some of the larger.
