Its origin is in the South African region, like warm, dry climate environment, do not like water.But the growth cannot leave moisture, water need not be too ground nevertheless, see at ordinary times dry irrigate goes.The specific frequency of irrigation should be determined according to the season.For example, in spring and summer, plants grow vigorously, the temperature is high, the consumption of water, to irrigate frequently, generally once every four days.In autumn, the temperature drops slowly, and the number of times should be reduced, usually once a week.In winter, the temperature is low, the evaporation of water is slow, and it is better to control water, not dry or irrigate, and slightly dry.
It prefers loose, porous, nutritive soil, preferably acidic, so that its roots can breathe better, which is good for growth.It can be mixed with leaf soil, garden soil and river sand.When potting, a layer of gravel and tiles are laid at the bottom of the pot, which can not only ensure ventilation, but also ensure nutrients, and later management will be more worry-free, without worrying about water accumulation.
It likes to fertilize, and it should be topdressed in time during the growth period. In the peak growth season of spring and autumn, it can be fertilized once a month. It is OK to use thin nitrogen fertilizer water, and high concentration is easy to burn roots.If fertilization is not applied for a long time, the growth rate will slow down due to lack of nutrients, and the leaves will become thinner.In addition, every two or three years of conservation should be repotted once, according to the above method to reconfigure the soil on the line.
