Soil: need fertile, loose, slightly acidic neutral soil. Light: like sunshine, but afraid of direct light. Watering: like to wet, but afraid of waterlogging, keep the soil moist. Temperature: optimum 10-20 ℃, lower than 30 ℃ in summer and higher than 0 ℃ in winter. Fertilization: apply potassium dihydrogen phosphate in spring and autumn, and do not apply nitrogen fertilizer in flowering period. Ventilation: regular ventilation is required.

1. soil

More nutrition, looseness and ventilation are the main requirements. In addition, according to the characteristics of the plant, the pH should be between six and seven, that is to say, neutral soil.

2. light

Plants prefer light. They should be kept in a sunny place. Especially when the temperature is 28 ℃, the light is more important. However, the stronger the light is, the better. The plant is afraid of direct light. When encountering it, it should be properly shaded.

3. watering

Plants like to be wet, but they are also afraid of waterlogging. Too much standing water will make its roots rot and even die. Therefore, keep the soil moist, do not water.

4. temperature

The most suitable temperature is from 10 to 20 degrees, which is most conducive to plant growth. Under five degrees, the growth rate slows down; above thirty degrees, the plant will enter dormancy; if above thirty-five degrees, it is easy to rot. Therefore, it is better not to exceed 30 degrees in summer and zero degrees in winter.

5. fertilization

In spring and autumn of growing period, 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate should be applied. Pay attention not to apply too much nitrogen fertilizer in the flowering period, or the branches and leaves will grow too fast and the flower life will be short

6. ventilation

Dirty air or too much dust in the air will make the petals wither quickly, so you need to ventilate regularly, but don't put it at the air outlet.
