It likes light itself and has a large demand for light. During maintenance, except for timely shielding from the scorching sun in summer, it can be placed in a bright place in the other three seasons to let it get more sun. Strong light in summer can easily burn leaves. Spring and autumn are the flowering stages, and they can be exposed to the sun throughout the day so that the flower buds can differentiate better. The light in winter is weak, so you need more sun exposure to ensure a safe winter.

1. Requirements for light

It is a light-loving plant and has a large demand for light. In addition to being shielded from the scorching sun in summer, in other seasons it should be placed in a well-lit area to bask in the sun. The high temperature and strong light in summer can easily burn the leaves, so avoid them in time. It grows vigorously in spring and autumn and is in the flowering stage. It is best to give it full-day sun, so as to promote the differentiation of flower buds and better flowering in the later period. In winter, the temperature is low and the light is weak. Only by getting more sun can you ensure a safe winter.

2. Soil requirements

During the cultivation period, loose, well-drained, fertile soil should be used, and it should be acidic and not too alkaline. You can prepare it yourself, mixing peat soil, river sand and garden soil, and then adding an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer to increase nutrients. This will basically meet the needs and ensure vigorous growth in the later period. In addition, when watering later, pay attention to regularly adding an appropriate amount of ferrous sulfate, which can maintain acidity and is beneficial to growth.

3. Precautions

It Its cold tolerance is relatively poor. If you want it to grow normally, the temperature must be controlled in winter. If it is in a low temperature environment, growth and flowering will be affected, and the flowering period will be delayed. A lot of nutrients are consumed during the growth period, so fertilization and top dressing must be applied in a timely manner to ensure sufficient nutrients. In addition, if they are managed in pots, they need to be repotted every one or two years.
