Specifically, there are five key points in total. The first is the quality of the soil, which needs to be nutritious and loose, preferably sandy soil. The second is moisture. The general principle is "see dry and wet". Then there is the light. It requires a lot of light, and it needs to be provided with five or six hours of light a day. Next is the temperature, the most suitable is 20 to 32 degrees. The lowest temperature in winter cannot be below five degrees. The last step is pruning. In spring, cut off the dense and leggy branches.

1. Soil

2. Moisture

The general principles have been mentioned above. This plant is generally drought tolerant and will be fine if it gets a little dry. However, be sure not to accumulate water, otherwise its leaves will easily curl and its roots will rot.

3. Light

It is a very light-loving plant species. Place it in a well-lit area, don't worry about direct light. Generally speaking, it is most beneficial to ensure five or six hours of light every day. This way, it will grow stronger and have a stronger fragrance after it blooms. Especially in winter, it should be placed in a place with sufficient light.

4. Temperature

It is not resistant to severe cold, so it is best to keep the temperature within the range suitable for it, which is the range we mentioned above. If it is not easy to guarantee in winter, then the minimum temperature cannot be below 5 degrees. Otherwise, its leaves will fall off easily, which will greatly affect the growth and development in the second year.
