Rainbow iron is very adaptable and has no special requirements for the environment. Today, I would like to introduce to you how to raise rainbow iron.

First, sunshine

Rainbow iron likes the environment with plenty of light and warm and humid environment. Therefore, usually should be placed in the sun, but it is not resistant to hot sun exposure, especially the new leaves are very easy to burn, withered yellow. Therefore, certain shading conditions should be given to the new leaf stage.
