Diyu, as a representative species of Phyllanthus, should be collected and cultivated in botanical gardens and enthusiasts. For some fans, the more difficult it is to plant, the more they want to plant, so as to reflect the technical level of cultivators. Diyu is just a kind of cultivator tested.
Diyu is native to South Africa. It is suitable for a cool, dry and sunny environment. It is resistant to drought, ponding, high temperature and a little cold. It has the habit of growing in cold season and sleeping in high temperature. Therefore, sufficient sunshine should be given during the growth period of Diyu. In winter, controlled watering can withstand 5 ℃ or even lower temperature. During summer dormancy, pay attention to ventilation, avoid sun exposure and rain, and strictly control watering.
Diyu is suitable for growing in loose and permeable soil with good drainage. It can be mixed with coarse sand or vermiculite and rotten leaf soil or peat soil, and a small amount of bone powder. The biggest difficulty of cultivating Diyu lies in its long dormancy period. In some places, it began to enter dormancy in late May and ended in mid September. In the meantime, a little carelessness will rot. In addition to strengthening shade and ventilation, water should be completely cut off. Let the old leaves shrink, and strive to keep a pair of leaves. The resistance decreases rapidly after flowering. Although it doesn't die after flowering like some species of Crassulaceae, it will be very difficult to spend summer. Therefore, if it is not for the purpose of collecting seeds, the buds should be removed as soon as they appear. 3 /4 sand and 1 /4 rotten leaf soil should be used as culture soil. Sowing for propagation, resistance is better at seedling stage, and sometimes side buds can be cut at the base. .

It is like a living handicraft, used to decorate balconies, windowsills, several cases and so on. It has its own characteristics.
