Soil: It is required to use sandy loam soil that is slightly loose, has good air permeability and smooth drainage, and should be sterilized with high temperature in advance. Temperature: The optimum temperature for the growth of purse flowers is around 15°C. If the temperature can be lowered to around 10°C during flowering, the flowering period can be extended. Light: It likes light and avoids direct sunlight. If the light is too strong, it should be shaded and kept well ventilated. Moisture: Watering should be dry and wet. You can spray water into the flower pot frequently. The humidity should not be too low.

1. Soil

Cultivation of lotus flowers requires sandy loam soil that is loose, has good air permeability, smooth water permeability and rich organic matter. In addition, a small amount of bone meal can be added as base fertilizer. The soil should be disinfected at high temperature before use. .

2. Temperature

The suitable temperature for the growth of purse flowers is around 15°C. Temperatures higher than 20°C will have an impact on growth, budding, and flowering. If the temperature can be lowered to about 10°C during flowering, the flowering period can be extended, but the nighttime and overwintering temperatures during the growth period cannot be lower than 10°C.

3. Light

It likes light and avoids direct sunlight. When the light is too strong at noon, it should be shaded appropriately and kept well ventilated, otherwise it will easily cause cataplexy. Increasing the lighting time can lead to early flowering. For example, if you increase the lighting time by 3 hours a day starting in November, it will bloom at the end of January of the following year. In greenhouse cultivation, you should pay attention to 30% shading before October, and no shading from October to March of the following year. After months, about 50% shade should be provided during the flowering period.

4. Moisture

Drought will cause poor plant growth, so attention must be paid to drainage. Too much moisture can easily cause root rot. It is not advisable to contaminate the leaves when watering, because the leaves are hairy and easy to rot. Watering needs to be dry and wet. You can spray the flower pot frequently to keep the air humidity above 80%. However, be careful not to spray water on the flowers during the flowering period to avoid affecting the fruiting.
