1. Soil: The best soil for cultivation is the special nutrient soil on the market. Before planting, add some pebbles to the bottom of the flowerpot to increase its air permeability.

2. Water: Always keep the pot moist, but avoid water stains. Normally, water it once one to two days. In summer, the evaporation is relatively large, so it requires more water. You can spray it with more water. Water it before 10 am or after 2 pm.

3. Fertilization: Fertilization is generally divided into three stages. Apply more nitrogen fertilizer before the flower buds are differentiated, and apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers after the flower buds are differentiated.

4. Light: Due to the different climates in the north and south, in the north, generally speaking, more light is needed around April in the spring, and sunlight needs to be blocked in mid-to-late May. The temperature in the south is relatively high and the sunshine is relatively abundant, so it is better to place it in a shady place.
