2. Sunbathing: It is also important to get more sun exposure during the winter. You should try your best to provide it with light. Because the winter sun is not very strong, it is okay to expose it to the sun all day.

3. Water control: Since the temperature in winter will be relatively low, the evaporation of water contained in the potting soil will slow down, so the amount of water must be strictly controlled.
