Because of the unique appearance of crystal candles, many people like to keep a pot at home. It is different from other green plants, and there are crystal lines on the leaves, which is probably why it is called crystal flower candle. Then let's learn what we need to pay attention to when we care for crystal candles.

I. watering

Its habit of not enduring drought requires us to give it enough water when we raise it, and water it every two to three days. Tap water is the best choice for crystal candles. Natural rainwater is also a good source of water for planting, so when it rains, it can be put outdoors. Be sure to keep relatively high air humidity, especially in summer when the temperature is particularly high. Winter watering should be from 9am to 4pm. When the temperature is higher, it can avoid frostbite.

2. Light

Light is a very important point, too weak or too strong light will not affect the final growth. If it is too weak, the final growth will not be vigorous. If the light is too strong, the leaves will change color and be burned by too strong light. Cover 75% of the light on a clear day. There is no need for shading in the morning and evening. The demand for light is also different at different times. When it blooms, the demand for light is relatively low. It can block the light and prevent the flowers from changing color if the light is too strong.

Temperature

The temperature should be kept below 30 ℃. If the temperature is too high in summer, spray water or atomization can be carried out to improve the humidity in the air, so as to avoid damage caused by too high temperature. In winter, if the indoor temperature is lower than 15 ℃, the temperature should be increased to avoid the occurrence of frost damage and to protect the safety of winter.

IV. fertilization

Because there is a layer of wax like things on the surface of its leaves, it is difficult to absorb fertilizer very well, so the effect of Fertilization on its roots will be much better. The time of fertilization is generally between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., but fertilization should be conducted between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. in winter or early spring. After two hours of fertilization, spray water on the leaves, wash off the fertilizer left on the leaves, and ensure that the leaves are clean to avoid algae.
