1. Temperature: Butterbur will grow more vigorously in a warm place. Generally speaking, a temperature between 20 and 28 degrees is more suitable. In summer, too hot environment will have a certain impact on yield. Try to make appropriate adjustments when the temperature is higher than 35 degrees.

2. Light: Butterbur is relatively sensitive to the intensity of sunlight. If it encounters too strong light, its growth rate is easily hindered, and its leaves are easily burned. Therefore, it is most suitable to keep it in a semi-shady environment without direct light. However, there is basically no need to cover it in winter.

1 . Diseases: relatively speaking, there are not too many types of diseases of butterbur, and diseases are not common in ordinary times. Occasionally, there is a disease that causes serious defoliation, called "rust". The symptoms are not only defoliation, but also overall poor growth. Moreover, it may also infect surrounding plants, so it is necessary to use drugs such as fentanin in time.

2. Pests: There are not too many pests. You can usually strengthen prevention and ventilation to improve resistance.
