1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: The soil for planting should be loose, thick, and well-permeable sandy loam. Because the root system is relatively shallow, sandy loam is more suitable for the growth of plants. .

2. Moisture: It is a water-loving plant and has a large demand for water and frequent irrigation. The amount of water is generally based on the standard of pouring it thoroughly without stagnant water, which can promote its absorption of water and enable better growth.
