Water should be added when the soil is dry. The soil should be kept slightly moist during the growing season, and the soil should have good drainage and air permeability. In addition, you should spray water frequently to keep the air at a certain humidity so that it can grow vigorously and bloom as scheduled.

Fertilizer should be applied once a month during the growing season to ensure adequate nutrient supply. If the soil is fertile, fertilize once every two months. Note that the concentration of fertilizer must not be too high, it is best to use diluted fertilizer solution.
