It is one of the main tree species of Chinese stump bonsai, one of the five famous trees in Lingnan bonsai, and also one of the bonsai plants exported to the United States after China's entry into WTO.

Humidity management: like the humid climate environment, the relative air temperature of the growing environment is 70% to 80%, the air relative humidity is too low, the lower leaves are yellowed and shedding, and the upper leaves are not glossy.

Temperature management: because it is native to the tropics and likes high temperature and humidity environment, it has strict requirements on winter temperature. When the ambient temperature is below 10 ℃, it can not survive the winter safely when the environment temperature is below 10 min. Finch plum

In summer: strengthen the air convection so that the temperature in the body can be released; put it in the semi-shade, or give it 50% shade; spray it properly, 2 or 3 times a day.

In winter: move to a brightly lit place indoors for maintenance; outdoors, wrap it in film for the winter, but uncover the film every two days when the temperature is high at noon to let it breathe.
