Watering should be timely in the dry season, drainage should be timely in the rainy season, and water accumulation in flowerpots should be avoided for a long time. Weeds should be removed in time, shallow ploughing and loosening soil should be carried out in time, and appropriate amount of mature organic fertilizer should be applied between rows combined with loose soil. For plants with overgrown stems and leaves above ground, coring should be carried out to inhibit the growth and height and promote the occurrence of lateral branches.
