2. Watering: It has a strong drought resistance, so you don’t need to water it too frequently. But it cannot be kept in a dry environment for a long time, so you need to spray it with water frequently. Especially in summer, spraying water on the leaves frequently can not only reduce temperature but also increase humidity. However, during the flowering period, you should reduce the amount of water and do not let the flowers get wet to avoid falling flowers.

3. Fertilization: Its flowering period is relatively long and it has a great demand for fertilizer. In addition to controlling fertilizer during the seedling stage, it is necessary to fertilize regularly. Fertilize once every ten days during the growth period to provide it with sufficient nutrients. Before flowering, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied to promote more and longer flowering.

4. Temperature: Its resistance to high temperatures and low temperatures is not high, so pay attention to temperature control during maintenance. When the temperature is high in summer, move it to a ventilated place indoors, avoid light, and spray water frequently to cool it down. Place it indoors in winter, get more sunlight, and keep the indoor temperature above 10 degrees, so that it can spend the winter safely.
