3. Watering and moisturizing

Spray water directly on the leaves. Do not pour water directly into the basin at the early stage of breeding. The watering frequency is once a day when the growth is pleasant. If you need to spray water on the surrounding ground in summer and dry weather to keep wet, with the arrival of dormancy period, the watering frequency will be reduced in winter. Moisturizing work can be sprayed with water spray. In this way, the amount and frequency of water spray should be reduced.
