Taboos

Temperature too low: we said above that it can grow normally in the range of 8 degrees. Even if the growth rate is very slow in winter, the temperature cannot be lower than zero. In order to ensure the normal wintering of plants, in addition to the lower latitude where the winter temperature can be guaranteed, other places with high latitude or high altitude are better to put plants indoors for wintering. Otherwise, even if the plant can not be frozen to death outside, but the development of the second year will be affected.

Lack of light: the sunshine in winter is of great significance to plants. No matter in or out of the house, you can't stay in the shade for a long time. If you think the noon sun is stronger, then only give shade at noon, the rest of the time must not forget to let it bask in the sun

Too much watering: we all know that plants need less water in winter. What's more, this kind of plant is afraid of standing water. So don't overdo it.
