It is mainly found in places between 580 and 1200 meters above sea level, mostly in the wild. In recent years, artificial introduction and planting are also common. So, how does it breed?

The habits of this plant

Temperature:

When it comes to this factor, we mainly refer to winter. Because we also said above that it is not good at cold resistance, so we must take appropriate cold prevention measures. The plants raised in the open can be covered with weeds or plastic film. If they are potted, they should be transferred to the room for maintenance.

Illumination:
