---

It is a tropical plant that is not cold-tolerant and prefers a warm environment. During the maintenance period, it is most suitable to provide a temperature environment between 20 degrees and 25 degrees. In winter, the temperature should be controlled above 10 degrees, so that it can grow well. Its flowering period is in winter and spring, so attention must be paid to temperature management, but appropriate low temperatures after the flowers bloom can extend the flowering period. In addition, it will also go dormant when the temperature is high in summer, so it should be moved to a cool place for maintenance.

1. Whether it is cold-resistant

1. Whether it is cold-resistant

It is a tropical plant, not cold-resistant, and likes warm environments. During the curing period, a temperature environment between 20 degrees and 25 degrees is most suitable and can grow well. Although it blooms in winter and spring, it does not mean it is cold-resistant. The temperature in winter still needs to be controlled, and it is best to maintain it above 10 degrees. Only in this way can normal flowering occur.

2. Temperature management during flowering period

Its flowering period is relatively long, blooming in winter and spring, and its cold tolerance is poor, so you need to pay attention to temperature control. After the flower buds form, the temperature should be controlled between 16 degrees and 21 degrees, and above 21 degrees during the day, so that the flower buds can form better. If the temperature is lower than 15 degrees, the flower buds will easily fall off. After the flowers bloom, the temperature should be lowered to between 12 and 15 degrees. Appropriate low temperature can extend the flowering period.

3. Control the temperature in winter

Its cold resistance is poor. Pay attention to the low temperature environment in winter, especially in northern areas, and move it indoors in time and control it. The minimum temperature must be controlled above 5 degrees, otherwise it will be frostbitten and stop growing. In addition, you should also pay attention during the high temperature period in summer. When the temperature is above 28 degrees, it will also go into hibernation. It is shade tolerant and should be moved to a cool place for maintenance in summer to avoid affecting growth.
