III. light

Baxianhua likes shade and doesn't like sunshine. It's better not to let it be directly exposed to the sun, especially in summer. If the sun is too strong, it will burn it. When the light is weak in autumn and winter, it should be placed in a bright position, which is conducive to flower bud differentiation.
