The plant will stop growing if it is lower than ten degrees. The optimal temperature is between 15 degrees and 25 degrees. Plants in this temperature range grow best.

2. Watering: It needs to grow in water. From the time the bell is released to the time when the seedlings take root, there must always be water in the field, which is beneficial to rooting. After the plant takes root, the water layer will gradually deepen, and the upper part of the plant will Just leave the water out. If the temperature drops to zero, the water layer needs to be deepened to between 40 cm and 60 cm, leaving only a few leaf tips on the water surface.

Remove the top tips of the selected seed stems. Then tie them into round bundles with a diameter of 30 centimeters, and cover them with a layer of fresh grass to ensure humidity. Playing with it and pouring cold water on it. In about ten days, they will take root and can be planted in August when the temperature drops below 30 degrees.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: non-toxic.

2. Edible: edible.
