The quality requirements of the soil of Mallow are relatively high. It is better to choose the soil with good permeability, nutrition and acidity. Can use nutrient soil or saprophytic soil, still want to add sand to wait to increase permeability, as well as a few base fertilizer.
Mallow likes temperature, so it's best to keep it between 18 and 25 degrees. It has a certain degree of cold resistance, but not particularly good. Winter needs to be kept at about three to five degrees, can't be lower, or it's easy to get frostbite.
Plants like light, and need to provide good light for their growth period to meet their growth requirements. However, in summer, we need to properly block out the light. In winter, we should also put it in a bright place, such as the window.
Its demand for water is not too much. Standing water will cause its roots to rot and keep the soil from being too dry. At ordinary times, watering follows the principle of "better dry than wet". In winter, the amount of water should not be too much
It needs more fertilizer. It needs compound fertilizer to provide sufficient nutrients in the growing period. To the flowering period also need fertilizer, the type is mainly phosphate fertilizer.
The growth of mallow is relatively vigorous. If it does not trim its branches for a long time, it will grow very disorderly and affect the transparency. It should be noted that regular pruning is needed to cut off some of the branches that are too dense, and the sick and dry branches as well.
