Flower soil: It is best to use sandy flower soil with relatively high organic matter content and good air permeability to grow nasturtium, and maintain its pH between 5-6. Lighting: Place it in a place with relatively good lighting conditions. Temperature: 18-24°C, the highest cannot exceed 35°C, and the lowest cannot be lower than 10°C. Fertilization: Apply diluted bean cake water to it once a month.

1. Flower soil

To raise nasturtiums, it is best to use sandy flower soil with a relatively high organic matter content and good air permeability, and maintain its pH between 5-6. For domestic cultivation, garden soil, leaf mold soil, compost soil and sand soil can be mixed into its flower soil in a ratio of 4:4:1:1.

2. Light

It is not shade-tolerant, so it needs to be placed in a place with relatively good lighting conditions when breeding. This will ensure that it receives enough sunlight and will not cause growth problems due to lack of light. However, when the sun is too strong in summer, you need to put it in a semi-shady and ventilated place to prevent it from getting sunburned.

3. Temperature

The most suitable temperature is 18-24℃. The maximum temperature cannot exceed 35°C, otherwise it will be difficult to bloom. The minimum temperature cannot be lower than 10°C, otherwise it may be frozen and the leaves may wilt.

4. Fertilization

When maintaining it, you need to apply diluted bean cake water to it once a month. This will provide it with nutrients and help it grow. However, please note that the bean cake must be cooked in water before use, otherwise it may cause obesity.

5. Precautions

It is more susceptible to aphids. Therefore, it is best to spray some low-concentration liquid medicine on it every once in a while for prevention.
