For potting, we need to choose a larger flowerpot and use suitable soil. The flowerpot likes loose, breathable, fertile and well drained soil. Applying some basic fertilizer can increase the fertility of the soil.
Muxianghua likes sunny growing environment, can endure half shade, likes warmth, can endure cold but avoid heat. In order to breed joss sticks, it is necessary to ensure the appropriate temperature. In summer, measures can be taken to reduce the temperature. In winter, the temperature is low, so it can be put indoors to avoid frostbite. It should be noted that the flowers are afraid of direct light at seedling stage and need to be shaded.
Muxianghua likes a humid growing environment. It needs to keep the soil moist during the growing period, but it can't accumulate water. Watering is generally dry and thorough. Pay attention to keep the air humidity. In addition to sufficient base fertilizer, fertilizer application also needs to ensure sufficient nutrients in the daily maintenance. It can be applied once every 20-30 days with a thin liquid fertilizer which is rotten. Pay attention not to apply too much nitrogen fertilizer, so as to avoid excessive growth and less flowering.
Joss sticks are usually cut at the end of summer or after flowering, or in winter. Cut off the overgrown branches and dead branches of joss sticks. When the flowers are withered, you can cut off the remaining flowers and some branches. You can grow strong new branches and blossom more next year. Pay attention not to cut again when trimming. If you cut off too many flower buds, you will reduce flowering.

The propagation of woodsweet is mainly by cutting and layering, which is relatively simple.
