2. Temperature: It likes warmth, and the suitable temperature for planting is 20℃ to 28℃, which is the best temperature for its growth. The temperature should not be lower than 5℃ in winter. Too high a temperature is not conducive to its growth. If the temperature is below 5℃, it will go dormant.

3. Light: It likes to grow in semi-shady environment. Diffused light is very suitable, but there should be no strong sunlight, otherwise its leaves may be burned. Just ensure the lighting conditions.

4. Watering: It has thick flesh and is relatively drought-resistant. So make sure the soil is moist. Avoid excessive water accumulation which may affect its growth. Generally water once every 4 days.
