Watering

Yellow cicada likes high temperature and high humidity, and the soil should be kept regularly Humidity, especially from spring to autumn, sufficient water should be maintained. Water should be controlled during the dormant period. If the plant is frostbitten, the amount of watering should be moderate, because it is difficult for the plant in the recovery period to absorb nutrients. If you water too much, the plant will not be able to absorb it. Instead, it will cause its roots to rot.

Temperature

Yellow cicada is intolerant of cold and avoids frost. The minimum temperature in winter should be kept above 15℃. If it encounters long-term low temperature of 5-6℃, Branches and leaves are damaged.

Soil

Yellow cicada prefers fertile and well-drained soil, so peat soil or leaf humus soil should be used for potting.

Light

The yellow cicada is a strong light plant and can survive in a semi-shaded environment, but it must be maintained for at least 5 hours a day of sunlight.

Fertilization

When planting yellow cicadas, apply decomposed cake fertilizer or garbage as base fertilizer. Apply compound fertilizer once before flowering in spring and during the full flowering period in summer. Promotes more flowering and extends flowering time.

During the growth period of the yellow cicada, fertilize once every 20 days to promote strong branches and continuous flowering. If the plant is frostbitten, stop fertilizing.
