Temperature: not cold resistant, the normal growth temperature is between 20 ℃ ~ 30 ℃. Watering: when the seedlings need to be watered in time, normal watering during the growth period is OK. Light: like warm sunshine, warm and sufficient light is needed for its growth. Fertilization: during the growth period, you can apply appropriate amount of fertilizer, about twice a month.

I. maintenance method

1. Temperature: shellfish like a warm growing environment. Generally, the temperature suitable for its growth is between 20 ℃ and 30 ℃. Its cold resistance is very poor, so it is not suitable for outdoor winter. In winter, pay attention to avoid frostbite of plants, and the growth of next year will be affected.

2. Watering: shell flowers need enough water when they grow seedlings, so that they can grow faster and have better growth momentum. During the growth period, they can water normally. The soil should be kept moist, but there should be no ponding. If the soil is already wet, there is no need to continue watering.

3. Light: shellfish like warm sunshine. Sufficient light can make its color more green and grow well. However, the strong light in summer is unacceptable. It needs shading or moving it directly to indoor breeding.

4. Fertilization: during the growth period, proper amount of fertilizer can be applied to promote its growth. It can be applied once or twice in a month, depending on the growth of the plant. However, we need to stop fertilizing after flowering. If we continue to fertilize, it's easy to propagate and drop flowers ahead of time, or the flower buds are not growing well.

2. Cultivation techniques

1. Reproduction: sowing is the main way. Generally, except in winter, it can be carried out in other seasons, and sowing can also be used for large-scale aquaculture. If you want to transplant, you need to wait until the plant grows six leaves. At this time, the resistance of the plant is much stronger, so it will not die because of transplantation.

2. Pruning: during the growth period, it is necessary to prune some branches and leaves that are too dense, and also to remove the center, mainly for branching and shaping the plant type.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: its growth ability is relatively strong, and the occurrence of disease is very few. If you pay attention to ventilation, it will rarely occur.

2. Insect damage: the occurrence of insect damage is also relatively small, but the leafminer may also appear, and can spray pesticides

4. Other issues

1. Toxicity: No, don't worry about eating by mistake
