How to cultivate millet star

1. Soil

When growing millet plants, you should choose loose soil . You can use coal slag and add some peat, and then spread a layer of pebbles on the top. This will prevent the nutrients on the surface of the soil from being washed away and the soil from becoming compacted when watering the millet plants.

2. Temperature

Because millet stars like cool and dry environments, they will grow very fast in a relatively cool environment . Therefore, millet stars should be placed in a relatively cool place in summer, and in winter, they should be placed in a slightly cooler place. The temperature should not be too cold, about 10 degrees Celsius is enough .

3. Lighting

The growing season of millet star is from September to June of the following year. The light in these months can meet the requirements of millet star. Therefore, you can give it sufficient light to allow it to photosynthesize better.

4. Watering

When watering millet star, like most succulents, you don’t need to water it too much because it likes a dry environment. So, just keep the soil moist and don’t water it too much .

You should pay more attention after entering summer, because millet star will enter a dormant period in summer, but the evaporation in summer is relatively large, so in addition to proper watering, you should also increase the number of times you spray water on the leaves and place it in a cool and ventilated place.

Xiaomi Star Maintenance Precautions

When caring for millet star, you should pay attention to giving it sufficient light on a regular basis, but it needs appropriate shade when the light is too strong or the temperature is high. The leaves of millet star are not protected by frost, so they are relatively not very sun-resistant.

However, it cannot be kept in an environment with insufficient light for a long time, otherwise the millet star will not only fail to color itself, but will also grow seriously too tall.
