1. Soil

Round-leaf mallow does not require much soil, and can be planted in general sandy loam or garden soil.If conditions permit, slightly acidic nutrient soil can be used for planting.

2. Temperature

It likes a mild environment, the demand for living temperature is not very high, more cold-resistant.The optimum growth temperature is about 18-25 .In winter, do not spend the winter in an environment below 0 C to avoid frostbite.

3. Watering

It doesn't like too much moisture and should be careful not to water it too often to keep the soil dry.Because it is easy to rot roots once it accumulates water, so we should carefully observe the soil at ordinary times to avoid waterlogging.

4. Illumination

It needs to be given plenty of sunlight, preferably more than 6 hours a day.Giving it a long time of light every day can ensure its growth and development, and also promote its flowering.

5. Precautions

1. Fertilization: It is necessary to give it a certain amount of fertilizer when breeding, and use nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer to promote its growth and development in its growth period.During the flowering period, only a little phosphorus fertilizer is applied to promote its flowering.

2. Pruning: At all stages of its growth, it needs to be pruned frequently.Cutting off dead branches, diseased branches and redundant branches in dense places is conducive to ventilation under leaves and reducing the occurrence of pests and diseases.
