In the process of breeding Malvaviscus arboreus, it is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient light treatment every day during the growth period, and the temperature should be controlled at about 18-32℃. In spring, it should be watered every 1 to 2 days. The high temperature in summer keeps the pot soil moist. In addition, spray water 1 to 2 times a day, and pruning and pruning in spring can grow luxuriantly.
Malvaviscus arboreus likes to grow in a warm and sunny environment. During the usual maintenance period, it should be exposed to no less than 5 hours of sunlight every day, and the temperature should be controlled at about 18~32℃, but it can be used in the case of high temperature in summer. Move the plants to a semi-shade place for a short time, and then move them to the greenhouse for cultivation after entering the winter.
Malvaviscus arboreus likes to grow in a high-humidity environment. In spring, it should be watered every 1 to 2 days. In the high temperature season in summer, it should be watered 1 to 2 times a day. In hot weather, it is necessary to spray water on the surrounding area or foliage frequently.

Proper pruning is one of the cultivation methods and precautions of Malvaviscus arboreus. When there are fewer branches during the growth period, appropriate thinning and short cutting can be carried out, and the excessively long and messy branches should be cut off. Weak branches and dead branches promote branching, and then cut off the aging branches in spring.
Malvaviscus arboreus has very poor cold resistance. In winter, try to place the plants in the sunny place in the greenhouse and give them plenty of sunlight every day. When the temperature is very low, add light and heat treatment, or use the burying method. Protect the root system from freezing.
Malvaviscus arboreus often develops leaf spot and powdery mildew during the growth period, mainly in spring. When the disease is found, the diseased plant should be cleaned up in time, and the disease should be cleaned up, and the water and fertilizer should be reduced. Desenzinc solution is sprayed for prevention.
