Outdoor Management
It grows well in partial shade. Strong direct sunlight in summer can damage or wither the leaves.
It is important to ensure proper ventilation. Avoid placing them in a location where they will be directly exposed to the wind from an air conditioner. This will cause uneven drying and damage the plant. Also, if you expose the plant to outdoor air and rain as much as possible, the plant will be refreshed and will grow healthily.
Indoors Management
It does not like dryness, so be careful not to let it run out of water. The guideline for watering is twice a day in the morning and evening. Also, spraying the leaves with water during hot seasons is effective in preventing the leaves from drying out and maintaining their health.
Watering
Proper fertilization will help the plant grow healthily and make it easier for flower buds to form.

Pests & Diseases
This tree is very resistant to pests and diseases. Aphids may occasionally appear, but if you find them, remove them as soon as possible.
Soil
Generally, Akadama is used alone or a small amount of leaf mold is added.
Planting and repotting should be done in the spring before new shoots grow. Ardisia grows larger by extending its underground stems, so if you want it to grow larger, plant it in a pot one size larger. Repotting should be done once every 2-3 years. If you want to keep it small, repot it every 2-3 years, cutting off any old stubs that have no leaves and replanting them. If you allow it to grow for a long period of time without pruning, the branches will grow too long and the tree shape will deteriorate. In March or April, prune it to a height of about 5cm from the base of the plant. Eventually, the leaves will grow thick and the plant will return to its original state around autumn. When pruning, fertilize regularly and itit in early spring just enough to cut off any vigorously growing branches.
