In winter, it's best to have enough light. However, if the light is not good, the temperature should not be too high, and do not continue to water. In spring, the light will be restored

(4) temperature: the optimum temperature is 15-25 ℃. It can be lower at night, at 10 to 16 degrees. Winter winter temperature should not be less than five degrees, or it will suffer from frost damage.
