- Temperature. In the spring / summer period, the temperature should be moderate and be 18-20 degrees, and in the other two seasons, the value should be lowered to 12-16 degrees. If this does not happen, the leaves will be showered.
- Watering. For proper care at home, a white-feather flower should be watered abundantly during warm weather, but do not do this often, letting the soil dry. In winter and autumn, watering is carried out after drying only the top layer.
- Spraying. Beloperone needs a moist environment, so you need to periodically spray. It is recommended to put the pot in a tray with wet peat.

- Transfer. The procedure is carried out if the roots no longer fit in the pot. Young plants are transplanted once a year. It is recommended to use such an earth mixture: 2 parts of leaf and turf soil, 1 part peat and humus and the same amount of sand. It is also recommended to pour in bone meal.
Beloperone - reproduction

To accurately get the result, it is best to make a small greenhouse with a lower heating. The air temperature should be 20-22 degrees. Shoots dive into a substrate of leaf or turf ground and sand. It is necessary to pinch the tops to strengthen growth and branching.
- With the help of cuttings. Many flower lovers, deciding how to multiply the white perrier, stop on this option. Cuttings should be done from January to August. For reproduction, one-year shoots 10-15 cm long should be used, on which there are two leaves. They are placed in a mixture of peat and sand, and cover the top with a glass cap. To speed up the process, it is recommended to use the lower heating and to handle the cuttings by growth stimulants. Roots are formed after 2-3 weeks, and then they should be transplanted into the mixture, combining in equal proportions leaf, humus and peat land. When the white perone grows, its top is better to pinch.

Since the flower is fast-growing, it is necessary to periodically cut the plant. This is important in order to achieve a good bud formation and to form a beautiful crown. Pruning a white periper should be done in the spring and it is necessary to cut off for half the length of the branches, or even 2/3. After that, it is necessary to feed up with mineral fertilizers. Cropped branches can be used as cuttings for reproduction.
For the formation of a high-growth white-legged plant, it is necessary to remove all the lower lateral branches with growth, and the bare trunk should be attached to the support. When the desired height is reached, it is important to pinch off the top. In addition, it is necessary to leave several lateral shoots, but they should also be periodically pinched, otherwise the beautiful crown will not form.
