Houttuynia cordata is a plant that is relatively shade-tolerant. Short-term absence of light will have less impact, but it cannot be deprived of light all the time, otherwise it will not grow well. During the period of vigorous growth, sufficient sunlight must be supplied to carry out photosynthesis to maintain growth in the later stages. However, be careful not to bask in the sun under strong light. Exposure to the sun will cause Houttuynia cordata to dry out. During the maintenance process, it should be properly exposed to light during the growth period and supplement with sufficient light.
