The most important thing for potted starfish is the soil. It does not require very high cultivation soil, as long as it is not too sticky soil. The use of coarse sandy soil with good drainage performance is more beneficial to its growth.

The optimum temperature for its growth is 15-25 ℃, and the temperature at night may decrease, but it should be kept at about 10-15 ℃. The temperature in summer is relatively high, and the maximum temperature should not exceed 30 ℃. In winter, it's better to keep it in the house and keep the room temperature above 10 ℃.

Water content

The water requirement of plants is very high, especially in the period of flowering. It's better to water it thoroughly. Don't always water it to half, which will cause damage to its roots. When flowering, water needs to be properly reduced, too much water will reduce the quality of flowers.

4. Light

Stars like to be warm, so you should see the sun as much as possible, but don't be exposed to the sun. Especially in summer, we should move potted plants to a cool place, and always pay attention to water spray.
