The size of the myrtle pot should not be large, about half the volume of its crown.

Caring for an indoor flower Myrtle vulgare
It is not difficult to care for the myrtle houseplant at home.
In summer, a temperature of 18-23 degrees, bright light and indirect sunlight is enough for him.
It is advisable that in the warm season the flowerpot should be placed in an open place - a balcony, window sill, terrace.
It loves high air humidity, so it should be sprayed with settled water.
Watering should be regular, but moderate, not excessive.
The crown can be easily given any desired shape; the plant tolerates pruning well.
You should not expect flowering in the first year.
What myrtle doesn't like
Myrtle is one of the few indoor plants that does not like heat.
At high temperatures, the myrtle quickly loses moisture, and you will have to pay closer attention to ensure that there is enough watering for a fresh look, and that the roots do not rot from the abundance of water.
Ideally, maintain approximately 20 °C in summer and 10 °C in winter.
