It has always implied a happy life and a beautiful family, so it is popular among people. However, its flowering period is only once a year. The specific time is from November to the first ten days of February next year. But if well maintained, it can be extended.
The requirements for basin soil are very high. It is best to use slightly acid soil which is rich in humus, loose, fertile and well ventilated. Do not use clay. After the pot soil is well prepared, it needs to be placed for a period of time and properly detoxified, and then a layer of small stone is padded on the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage.
It is very cold-resistant, very heat-resistant, usually can grow well in a cool and humid environment, so it can not be given strong light, especially in summer, to properly shade, but also can not long-term lack of light, or it will grow badly.
The optimum temperature for its growth is 15 to 25 degrees. When it blooms, it can be moved to a cool place, or a little shade of the sun, and given a proper cooling, which can greatly extend its flowering period. In addition, it is very afraid of high temperature, so the temperature can not be higher than 30 degrees, or the stems and leaves will become yellow.
Usually when summer comes, it is the most vigorous period of its growth. At this time, we should increase the amount of water to make the soil moist at all times. If we apply fertilizer, we should mainly apply the liquid fertilizer which is rotten, once every 10 to 15 days. When it appears the flower bud, we can also apply a little potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, the best number of times is 1 to 2, so that it can blossom more and spend longer
