When it is hot and dry in summer, in addition to watering every day, sprinkle the foliage and nearby ground with clear water in the morning and evening to cool down and increase air humidity. the plant should be placed under the shade and should not be exposed to strong sunlight for a long time. After entering autumn, as the temperature drops, the amount of water should be controlled gradually and watered once every 2 to 3 days.

In winter, move to a cold room or room with no less than 0 ℃ to overwinter, watering once every 20 to 30 days; if the room temperature is above 15 ℃, evergreen leaves will not fall, water should be watered once every 7 to 10 days, keep moist air and give sunshine.

Before leaving the room in March every year, the rotten leaf soil is used to change the basin, and the bottom of the basin is made of foot angle piece as base fertilizer.

Water and fertilizer management: the growing season should be often watered to keep the basin soil moist, not too dry or too wet for a long time, avoid stagnant water in the basin or loss of water in the basin soil, spray water to the leaf surface 1-2 times a day in summer, and appropriately reduce watering times in winter. Keep the basin soil moist and slightly dry. 0.5% phosphate and potassium fertilizer solution is applied 2-3 times a year from April to May, and thin organic fertilizer solution is applied 1-2 times in Ladong, which is not suitable for other seasons. Avoid applying thick fertilizer.

Light and temperature requirements: the growth period should be kept in a sunny, warm, humid, well-ventilated place to maintain, shade 50% in summer and early autumn, avoid exposure, winter in the south can be outdoor winter, the north should be moved indoors, it is better to keep room temperature 5-12 ℃.

Turning the basin and pruning: turn the basin once every 1-2 years, in spring from February to March or late autumn, remove all the old soil and trim the roots properly. It can be combined with turning the basin to lift the root to make it form a hanging root and improve the ornamental value. After the semi-deciduous leaves in winter to the sprouting of the following spring, a pruning is carried out to cut short and ungrown branches, remove overdense thin and weak branches, cut off branches of diseases and insect pests and other messy branches that affect ornamentation, and timely carry out coring, sprouting, branch removal and so on during the growing period, so as to keep them in beautiful shape. The cut healthy branches can be used for cutting propagation.

Pest control: there are fewer diseases and insect pests in snow bonsai in June, and aphids and snails occur occasionally. Aphids can be sprayed with wind oil essence diluted 500,600 times, and snails can be sprayed with 58% wind and lightning excited EC 1500 times. Sometimes root rot occurs.

The so-called half-hanging, that is, the trunk is basically across the mouth of the basin. The fully suspended trunk should hang 45 degrees below the mouth of the basin. Small hanging trunks usually hang down about 30-40 degrees.

Source of pile material: split propagation was carried out in March in spring, and cutting (branch or root cutting) propagation was carried out from April to October. If protected ground (seedling bed) was used for propagation, cutting could be carried out from November to January of the following year. In the southeastern and central provinces of China, wild tree stumps can also be excavated in the field for cultivation and processing.

Processing modeling: can use "wood cutting dry method" processing, can also use "cutting and binding method" processing modeling. Flat ligation is often carried out from semi-deciduous leaves in winter to before sprouting in spring, the trunk and main branches are tied with metal wire, and the branchlets are finely trimmed.

Transplanting pot: transplanting pot should be carried out from February to March, or in Meiyu season and late autumn. Choose a lighter round, square or oval purple sand basin or glaze basin, the basin color should be slightly darker, in contrast to the flower color.
